Ride CAM wedges djust the cushion for ischil clernce. Insert wedge(s) s needed, then trim them flush with cushion se. Ride Designs nd its in-house Aspen Seting Clinic hve een successfully using their ptented cushion design to help improve posture nd skin helth for wheelchir users for nerly two decdes. Red on to lern more out the unique nd evidence sed method of support Ride employs in ll of their seting systems. Just like the Ride Custom Cushion, the Ride Jv Cushion works y redistriuting the forces of pressure nd sher wy from high risk res, while selectively pplying the forces to res more tolernt. The Jv Cushion s design nd cover mterils help to mintin cool, dry skin. The result is the potentil for: Lower pressures nd, thus, less deep tissue distortion to help decrese deep tissue injury nd the potentil for severe pressure sores (Stges III nd IV) Decresed het nd moisture to id in the prevention of superficil pressure sores (Stges I nd II) Greter sitting stility for improved functionl performnce. Monitor the sitter s sttus, not the cushion The offers enhnced sitting performnce without the need for regulr fit-essentil mintennce unlike the ongoing djustments required to mintin fluid or ir volumes in competitive cushion designs. If users experience chnge in their generl condition, the cn most often e djusted, using Ride CAM wedges, to restore its originl effectiveness. Good question: Ride Jv or Custom? Both cushions employ the sme method of support nd re pproprite choices for ll levels of skin risk.the, however, performs etter for people who cn sit in reltively good posture or who hve mild posturl chllenges. Those people with more severe posturl chllenges nd/or unique ody shpes should consider the Ride Custom Cushion.

Chris Devlin-Young, Ride user nd 215 X Gmes Mono Ski Gold Medlist. Ride Designs primry ojective is to help people experience pek sitting performnce nd skin protection t higher level thn is possile with more trditionl pressure distriution or immersion/envelopment style cushions. It s working! Over 2 Prlympin thletes choose the Ride method of support, not only for their everydy wheelchir seting, ut lso for their more demnding competitive sitting interfces. Compre Two recent university-level reserch studies provide compelling evidence in support of Ride Designs off-loding philosophy. Re-think seting strtegies Wheelchir cushion design hs historiclly focused on providing ony prominence immersion nd envelopment into mterils such s ir, fluid, gel, nd specilized fom to distriute the forces of support over s much contct re s possile. Recent reserch* supports the importnce of decresing deep tissue distortion t high risk ntomic res to help prevent deep tissue injury nd susequent pressure sores. A vile lterntive to the pressure distriution model is the use of orthotic nd prosthetic principles in the design nd construction of wheelchir cushions. Ride s pproch is to redistriute the forces of pressure nd sher from high risk ntomic res while selectively pplying the forces to res more tolernt. Review the recent university-level studies** on these next few pges nd drw your own conclusions. *Study pulished in the Journl of Tissue Viility (214; 23:13-23) y Tel Aviv University. **Ride Designs provided reserch mterils for testing, suject reimursement, nd logisticl support.
