Hey Derrick, I was having this problem also and after the advice of Lorie, W and a few others on the board I contacted my Insurance Co. and they sent a representative to my house..he sold me my wheelchair (Quantra) a fairly new chair to me. my problem I was sitting ON top of my cushion..I have a Varilite cushion...to fix the problem the pillow was filled with air and then I transferred onto the cushion and pillow then we released air until I was "encased' in the pillow..that was last Friday and I haven't been sidling forward since then. also, we put my legs up a little and tilted the chair a bit. Hope this helps...if I didn't have my husband to push me up before it would have driven me crazy! ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] ; [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 07, 2011 6:14 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Seating
That is interesting, cross over specialist, eh? PT, work with the muscles groups and that which supports them. OT, work with daily living, driver's evaluation, wheelchairs, scooters and position/seating. Generally, they stick their nose in another's certification.

Do you have a seat belt, seat harness or velcro straps you can use to secure you better? Best Wishes In a message dated 1/28/2011 9:46:53 P.M.

I cannot find a pressure mapping company within 60 miles- maybe more. Medicare will not pay for it, I' m told. I've put foam wedges to raise my thighs up. It helps. I use tilt too but I about slide out anyway. I live alone soit can get tricky. Do many quads have this sliding out problem?
