loading . . . How to Pick the Right Wheelchair Cushion to Prevent Pressure Sores This video is part 4 of our four-part series on manual wheelchair selection. Wheelchair users share their experiences with cushions, pressure mapping, and seating choices that support comfort, posture, and skin health. You will learn how pressure mapping identifies areas where pressure sores may develop, and how different wheelchair cushions (including air, foam, gel, and hybrid designs) can redistribute weight and improve daily comfort. Real stories highlight the benefits and drawbacks of each cushion type, when cushions need to be replaced, and how to work with a durable medical equipment (DME) provider to find the right fit. If you are looking for guidance on wheelchair seating, cushion selection, pressure sore prevention, and practical tips for long-term comfort and mobility, this video offers insight from people who use these cushions every day. #wheelchair #health #disability NCHPAD (National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability) is the nation’s premier center in promoting the health and wellness of people with disabilities.
