CUSHION
Fig.1.0
• Select a cushion to match your hip width when in the
seated position.
• The cushion length should extend to within 25 mm - 50
mm, (1" - 2"), from the back of the knees.
• Place the cushion to the back of the wheelchair with the
material identification tags and the fluid pad toward the
rear. When fit correctly, your hips should be to the back of
the chair and the seat bones should be central to the seat
well of the Jay Flow™ Fluid-Pad.
• Proper footrest adjustment may enhance sitting comfort
and help lower peak sitting pressures.
• Adjust the footrests so that your legs rest firmly but
comfortably on the cushion.
• Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat
upholstery. Stretched upholstery does not provide adequate
support for the cushion and improper positioning may
result. Replace stretched upholstery or purchase the JAY
Adjustable Solid Seat.
• Avoid very tightly stretched backrest upholstery.
• Stretched back upholstery does not provide adequate
support for the body and improper positioning may result.
Replace the stretched back upholstery, or buy a suitable
backrest from Sunrise Medical.

CUSHION ADJUSTABILITY
Fluid and Air Adjustability
The JAY Balance Cushion offers volume adjustability to
accommodate for users needs through the determination of the
correct amount of fluid made by your clinician during evaluation.
The determination of Air Single or Air Dual Models is also made
by your clinician during evaluation. The inserts should only be
changed at the direction of your clinician.

FLOATATION® insert.
See Balance Roho Owner's Manual.
ADJUSTING THROUGH POSITIONING
COMPONENTS
The JAY Balance Cushion can be ordered with positioning
components to offer excellent positioning possibilities. When
the client has any kind of postural deformity, he /she might
require a custom configuration of his/her cushion such as
stability supports and additional positioning elements. Sunrise
Medical recommends that a clinician such as a doctor or
therapist experienced in seating and positioning be consulted
to determine if a JAY Balance Cushion with positioning
components is appropriate.
The following components can be ordered optionally, according
to individual positioning needs:
Lateral Thigh Supports: Stop the legs from gradually moving
apart.
Medial Thigh Support: separates thighs for improving hip
alignment and stabilizing sitting posture.
Lateral Pelvic Supports: maintain pelvis in the center of the
seat.
Solid base: provides more postural stability
