Hip Cushions
Traditional Hip Cushions are usually very firm and
thick adding
up to 6" of additional height. They maintain the hip at the required 90
angle but may also restrict the user s functional reach.
AliHip Cushions are gently sloped on the operative side
so the hip can extend
an additional 15 to 20 , allowing the user to safely lean forward the
same 15 to 20 at the trunk in facilitation of sit-to-stand,
self-toileting, basic ADLs, even eating!
AliHip Cushions also improve positioning
of hips to help with pain control and to maximize sitting tolerance
post-operatively. Plus, with the knee naturally lower than the hips at
this angle, individuals don t need
to sit on a 6"-high hip cushion or a pile of
bed pillows!
Comfortably maintains hip precautions
AliHip Cushions maintain hips at more than 90 extension, while allowing
user more freedom of movement in the wheelchair or armchair. More
comfortable than traditional hip cushions, they are adjustable for left
or right leg.
