Position Pro Adaptive Positioning Product

POSITION PRO INSERT

The Position Pro is a rigid support base insert that improves positioning by taking the hammock out of sling seats. It is designed for use with the Matrix Skin Protection cushion and the Silver Care Basic General Use cushion to actively promote stable, symmetrical wheelchair positioning for people who cannot maintain this on their own.

Support Base Insert that Improves Positioning and Protects Skin
Improves Positioning	Takes hammock out of sling seat Promotes a neutral pelvis Helps take user out of internal rotation Helps take user out of adduction Discourages sacral sitting and sliding Maintains low seat to floor height
Protects Skin	Redistributes pressure by 25-40% when used with the Matrix and Silver Care Basic cushions
Improves Comfort	Increases stability and sitting tolerance

I really like the Matrix
cushion with the Position
Pro Insert. I believe this was
especially helpful for my patient with
bilateral above-knee amputations as he
is at less risk for skin breakdown at his
incision site, and it resulted in increased
independence with functional
transfers.

Considerations When Selecting a Wheelchair Support Base

The clinical and functional objectives of the User are of primary importance when selecting a wheelchair cushion. User needs to be considered include, but are not limited to: skin health, positioning needs, mobility, transfer status, ADLs, bladder control, and cognitive status.
The cushion height along with the support base should be considered along with its impact on:
- Seat-to-floor height, especially for people who propel their wheelchair with their feet
- User’s position relative to armrests
- User’s position relative to footrests
- User’s position relative to wheelchair back

Effective wheelchair seating interventions improve safety and comfort, as well as help people engage the world in a healthy, dignified, and meaningful manner.
