Where'd you get the adhesive spray? I have a problem with my armrests being a
little slippery also and I would like to have something to prevent the sweat
from my hands from getting directly on my armrests troughs. This sounds
interesting.

Thank you all for the input on pressure mapping. I have been somewhat reluctant
to go to a Roh0 cushion as I am afraid that I will lose the stability of
my J. cushion. We live on the side of a hill/mountain, and nowhere do I have
much level ground. I have an Omega Trac wheelchair which is absolutely awesome
and I can get around everywhere safely.
By the way, I brought my Omega Trac on eBay. It was in Hong Kong and I paid
$2300., which included shipping to United States. I had it sent to Teftec in
Texas for an overhaul. They went over the entire chair, painted, put the new
electronic system on it, and then had it shipped up to me. Ironically, the
shipping from Texas was more than the shipping from Hong Kong!
So back to the Roho cushion, how stable is it going over bumps and curbs and
things? If it does spring a leak, how quickly does it go flat? I have
absolutely no control of my upper torso, and have a chest strap that goes under
my clothes to hold me in the chair. That is why I am somewhat concerned about
the stability in the chair with the Roho. I would notice if the air was leaking
out on one side or the other, but I would not notice if it were leaking out
evenly, unless it went down an inch or so, for then I would feel it with the
added pressure on my shoulders.
Both arms are Velcroed to the armrests. Someone just brought up the problem
of the vinyl cracking on the armrests -- I like to have my armrests covered in
commercial velvet, we use spray adhesive and cut the velvet to fit. It makes
them less slippery, and also not as hot in the summer.
I am at least two months away from buying a new cushion, but I would like to
explore my options now.
Well, that's enough for this e-mail, I'll write more later.
