I'm in an Invacare TDX5 and am having lots of issues with back / shoulder
pains.
Anyone have any good advise of chair backs and lateral supports?
One issue is the lateral supports to hold my ribs straight, my spine is curving
now. So my right side has to push my ribs in and the left side has to keep the
right side from pushing me over. Though having those pads on my sides irritates
the inside of my arms by getting in the way, but if too small they don't work
well.
I use a Roho cushion and it helps my butt, but it's not real stable and after 1
recline I trend to move just a bit to my left. That screws up my lateral
supports from working correctly.
This chair has no real frame area to attach any pad supports to keep my hips
from sliding over.
I've seen almost u shaped custom backs that are molded to your back. That
sounds good, but I'd hate to go there then not like it and it's not like you
can try it first. Anyone try one of those?
I'd need it to come almost all the way around the sides, but not bother my arms
when moving them around.
Thanks, Greg
