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
