Do you have a seat pan for a cushion or do you have a preformed seat with back? Best Wishes In a message dated 7/13/2013 7:48:02 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
W, I'm not talking about "stretching" my seat if it's not wide enough. I'm talking about sending it back to be redone IF needed.

The seat is usually measured by its wooden base or platform. I'm guessing you have a air or gel cushion that is placed on the platform. PT's and OT's have different educations and certifications OT's are not allow to perform physical therapy and PT's generally stick to moving arms and legs plus neuro practice. Ask you PT if I'm wrong or right.... or write. Best Wishes In a message dated 7/13/2013 2:27:19 P.M.

That is their primary job. What about the seat width I was talking about? Can it be widened if needed?

Just make sure that the valve isn't sealed to allow more air if necessary. The Edge was design for flat dry surfaces, not grass, stones and soft surfaces. The edge does have adjustable suspension. Why are you using a Physical Therapist, rather than an Occupational Therapist? PT works with muscle and nerves, Occupational Therapist works with daily living devices like wheelchairs.

I got air in the tires, first time since 1977 My supplier said he was going to treat my air tire's with "slime" which is Supposed to prevent flats .... how can I tell if the "slime" has been applied? 2. OK, now I'm going to take this new chair out for a spin on different Terrains, uneven surfaces and back-up onto my platform lift on my van. What if the traction is bad, really bad or won't get me into my lift or just makes it? Can the traction be adjusted or Tweaked? 3. The chair I have now is ridiculously wide, so I ordered my seat and cushion to be 2" narrower. How much wider should a cushion be than our own bodies? What if the seat & cushion is just to narrow? Can I have the chair sent back just for that? I realize that is a HUGH reason but will insurance pay for those kind of changes? My seating Specialist from my supplier, Wilpage, and a PT spent about 6-7 HOURS measuring me, asking questions, testing different chairs (regarding center wheel, rear & front wheel drives) I had already test drove different chairs manufactures in my own home for 2 weeks a clip. they also asked questions like how and where I will be using my new chair. Any help on the above matters will be greatly appreciated. Bobbie
