Hi,
I have previously posted this queation on a different thread but have not received any response so I thought I'd try my luck here.
Can anyone help?

I am getting a sore red back from my power chair and was wondering where I can get some kind of gel padding to place against my back rest and what they would be called.
I have asked at wheelchair clinic but they only do gel backs for manuel chairs. :)

I need something like a sheep skin that can be draped over or placed on but with a gel texture so my back can mould to it.

Any advice would be great. :(

Hey! I'm not sure exactly what to call them, but when I was in rehab they gave me gel pads to put under my halo because it was hurting my back. So maybe u could try your doctor or a rehab facility. Don't know if I was much help...

you can look on Jay's web site or look at Roho if you want to consider an air cushion.
