Some learn quickly, while others learn in time that seat and positioning is everything when using a wheelchair is not an option, but a necessity.  Poor positioning can produce further discomfort and injury.  A positioning evaluation takes longer, but is worth the effort.  Ask anyone who has had one.

I had an Everest and Jennings power wheelchair from 74-03, and I always had back neck and shoulder pain and I felt hunched over plus needing to be pulled up in my care, all the time, which I don't experience in my Permobile.  I seemed to fall over and much more, not staying straight.  I still have a world that is a problem because of my broken left leg.  That was not repaired because of osteoporosis and the hip disintegrated causing me to lean to the left.

 
 
You know I have bad back pain and because of no movement in my right arm I seem to lean to my right which is putting a kink in my poor back and yes it hurts a lot sometimes so I've been looking into seating alternatives and found this a while back but it's expensive but it looks like it would do worlds of good.
Any one ever try one?
There's also cushions I've been looking into.
