Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Impulso wheelchair cushion?

The Impulso by Pro Medicare is a modular wheelchair cushion designed to provide targeted pelvic positioning and support for users with specific postural needs. Its configurable inserts allow seating specialists to tailor support to the user’s anatomy, helping improve pelvic stability and accommodate asymmetries. It may be particularly useful for some users following a stroke or living with an amputation.

How does the Impulso cushion support pelvic positioning?

The Impulso uses Pro Medicare’s Pelvic Total Support (PTS) technology and 12 configurable, closed-cell polyethylene inserts. These inserts can be arranged to accommodate individual positioning needs, including moderate pelvic obliquity, pelvic rotation, anterior or posterior pelvic tilt and windswept posture. The aim is to provide targeted support and stability based on the user’s clinical requirements.

Is the Impulso cushion suitable for wheelchair users with an amputation?

The Impulso may be suitable for some wheelchair users with a lower-limb amputation because its modular design allows seating specialists to customise support for the pelvis and remaining limb or residual limb. This can help accommodate differences in loading and positioning. Suitability depends on the individual’s residual limb, posture, skin condition and overall seating needs, so a specialist assessment is important.

Can the Impulso cushion help wheelchair users following a stroke?

The Impulso may be considered for some wheelchair users following a stroke who experience hemiplegia or asymmetrical sitting posture. Its adjustable inserts allow a seating specialist to tailor pelvic support and accommodate differences in how the user sits or bears weight. The cushion should be selected as part of an individual seating assessment and rehabilitation plan.

What sizes are available for the Impulso wheelchair cushion?

The Impulso is available in six adult sizes, measured as width × depth:

  • XS: 36 × 42 cm

  • XS1S: 40 × 40 cm

  • XS1: 40 × 45 cm

  • S: 42 × 45 cm

  • M1S: 45 × 45 cm

  • XL: 48 × 50 cm

The manufacturer’s stated maximum user weight is 135 kg. The correct size should be chosen according to the user’s measurements, wheelchair dimensions and positioning requirements.

Does the Impulso cushion provide pressure redistribution and comfort?

The Impulso combines a memory-foam upper layer with flexible polyurethane foam beneath it to support comfort and pressure distribution. Its modular inserts also allow the seating surface to be configured around the user’s individual pelvic positioning needs. Although these features may support pressure care, no cushion can guarantee the prevention of pressure injuries. Individual assessment and appropriate setup are essential.
