Re: [QUAD-L] Question for Quad Women

[Brian Stocker]

If your knees are splayed in that fashion, as are 
mine, you should consider, again, if your chair is 
REALLY fitted properly,  the entire length of your 
thigh should be taking pressure.  do your legs 
move in and out freely?  If so, you may need to 
lower your foot rest or raise your seat pan so 
that your thighs are snug against your cushion.  I 
am having this problem, because the wc was not 
fitted properly and the adjustment is maxed out.

Hi everyone,
I'm really enjoying my power chair but I have a problem.  My seating 
position is less than "lady-like"  ie: my knees are as far apart as 
possible in the sitting position.  The chair fits me well, but there 
aren't any side guards like in my manual chair.  I think these guards 
help keep my legs together.  I feel really uncomfortable sitting like 
this, any suggestions?
My brother uses a bungee cord to keep his knees together when playing 
quad-rugby, I really don't want to resort to that ;-)

Thanks,
River
