I have a Quantom 600 wheelchair with a roho cushion since April of this year. I am having a lot of trouble with the way I'm sitting I always feel like I'm slipping for ward and my husband has to help push me up. I have always sat in a smaller chair (Nutron) but getting older (66) so decided to get ac hair that tilts and has automatic legs. I called Armed for a seating evaluation but they are just sending the gentlemen that gave me this chair and he already said he doesn't know what to do...I sit on a small roho because the big one is no good with my balance...any suggestions on what I can do to be able to sit without the feeling of slipping? What can I say to the representative that will be coming to my house? Thanks in advance. Carolyn 46 years post c3/4 It's hard to give advice in seating as everyone is different. I don't like the Roho because of sloppy balance. I then went to a gel cushion that help me feel more stable and sat on gel for 20 years. Last April I got a new chair with a new cushion that came with it. It's an air plus cushion pillow. I find it more comfortable than the gel. It's a shame we can't test these before making that 5 yr or longer decision! Dianna
