Most ATS and PALS prefer Roho cushions here in San Diego.  Some individuals start out with no cushion upgrade, others with Jay or Comfort cushions, but most eventually find Roho to be most comfortable.  

Helping them to remember to adjust tilt/recline frequently, wear the seat belt, etc. is another matter.   ;)

Hello,

Asking for one of our wheelchair vendors...

Which power wheelchair cushion(s) is/are most frequently recommended for persons with ALS?

One of our vendors has been using the Jay Union cushion which has not been well tolerated and has been receiving many complaints.

The vendor asked me to survey the other Chapters and AT specialists on this list to see if there is any consensus of other options.

Thanks in advance.


Lisa
