Photo footage of Fitting a Grid Back Cushion for Kyphotic Child

May 31, 2011 By Karen Koch

Grid back with cover removed and squares removed for lateral supports.

 Grid wheelchair seat back, don’t try this at home.  For best results an Assistive Rehab Technician trained in seating and positioning should do this job.  But here is some insight into what is involved.  Grid wheelchair seat backs are for accommodation not correction.

Pull plastic back and pull off Sun Foam squares to configure for kyphotic back.

Velcro grid squares are attached.

Grid squares are marked for proper cutting and placement.
Grid square side view.

Bottom of grid square with velcro.

Grid squares are now being cut to accommodate kyphotic back.
