Frequently Asked Questions
What are Axiom for Kids wheelchair cushions?
Axiom for Kids cushions by Ki Mobility are paediatric wheelchair cushions designed around the different body shapes, weights and postural needs of growing children. Their foam construction and contoured designs provide support and help promote comfort, stability and appropriate positioning for everyday wheelchair use.
What is the difference between the Axiom for Kids PXP and PXSP cushions?
The Axiom for Kids range includes two models. The PXP is a Positioning Cushion, designed to support positioning and stability. The PXSP is a Skin Protection and Positioning Cushion, combining positioning support with design features intended to promote pressure distribution. The most suitable model depends on the child’s individual seating and skin-protection needs.
How do Axiom for Kids cushions support children’s posture?
Axiom for Kids cushions use shaped foam and a contoured seating surface to help support the pelvis and lower limbs. The PXP model focuses on positioning, while the PXSP combines positioning features with additional skin-protection design elements. A seating assessment can help determine which cushion is appropriate for a child’s postural requirements.
What sizes are available for Axiom for Kids wheelchair cushions?
Axiom for Kids cushions are available in a range of paediatric sizes, with widths from approximately 8 to 16 inches and depths from 8 to 18 inches, depending on the required configuration. The range is designed for smaller wheelchair users, and the correct size should be selected according to the child’s measurements, wheelchair dimensions and seating requirements.
Are Axiom for Kids cushions suitable for children at risk of pressure injuries?
The PXSP model is designed for both skin protection and positioning, making it an option to consider when a child requires support with pressure distribution. However, no cushion can guarantee the prevention of pressure injuries. Selection should take account of the child’s individual risk factors, skin condition, posture and clinical needs, with guidance from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
How do I choose the right Axiom for Kids cushion for a child?
Choosing between the PXP and PXSP involves considering the child’s posture, stability, skin-protection requirements, body measurements and wheelchair setup. An occupational therapist or seating specialist can assess these factors and recommend a suitable cushion.
