Spex Constructa Flex Cushion

Flex cushion implements a truly adaptable and easy approach for even the hardest-to-solve cushion requirements for users with complex postures..

Creating possibilities for complex sitting postures!

As its name describes, Flex has been designed to fulfil the postural requirements of wheelchair users who present with limited hip flexion. Up-to-date research shows that a considerable number of clients with cerebral palsy at GMFCS level V, present with asymmetric limited hip flexion. This condition must be ruled out or compensated as it has been linked to the development of other conditions like pelvic obliquity, trunk asymmetry, scoliosis, and windswept hip distortion (Ágústsson, A. et al, 2017).

Designed to adapt to your complex needs

range of modular cushions which can adapt to accommodate complex postural needs

Description

Considering a lack of products available that can support clients with symmetric or asymmetric limited hip flexion, and considering the negative impact that this can have on people’s posture and function, Spex have developed this superior, comfortable, pressure relieving, stable and highly configurable cushion able to address even the most challenging postural requirements.

Every Flex comes with an easily configurable strategic positioning base. The innovative and clinical benefits of the pads and wedges allows the prescribing clinician to achieve a result on-the-spot whilst having the peace of mind that its able to change for future unseen posture changes.

Flex has a unique cover design which can change its shape. This ensures that once all the adaptations are done to the inner foam unit, the incontinence and outer covers are manipulated for a comfortable fit.

A refined fit

Constructa cushions match the body’s contours, thanks to adjustments aligned with the body’s anatomy.

Performance under pressure

The entire Constructa cushion was designed to manage pressure. The invertible positioning blocks provide the foundation for a supportive yet immersive cushion, while the ischial well blends without any firm edges for ultimate comfort. The thigh and trochanter blocks have a dual-layer construction using medium and firm foams. These blocks can be inverted with the firm grey foam at the top to reduce the immersion in a cushion zone, changing the overall pressure distribution of the cushion.

Sleeker appearance

Stylish covers fit the cushion without limiting adjustment, while also making cleaning and maintenance easier.

A quicker solutions

The adaptable nature of the Constructa cushion means users who need custom solutions get them sooner, with just a single appointment required to find the perfect fit for many users.

Designed to adapt

The Constructa cushion was designed to evolve with the user’s needs, delivering an ideal solution for years of growth or postural change.

Require pelvic and thighs pressure distribution due to asymmetric sitting posture
Have changing postural needs over time
Require a high degree of pelvic stability and specific contouring

Functional

Positioning base primarily accommodates lack of hip flexion up to 20? but due to its innovative positioning base it can support ruling out other associated deformities as pelvic obliquity, windsweeping, hip abduction, hip internal rotation with tight hamstrings and even lack of hip extension.
