Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pratico wheelchair cushion?
The Pratico by Pro Medicare is a modular wheelchair positioning cushion designed for users who require moderate postural support while maintaining mobility and ease of transfers. It provides pelvic support, lateral leg containment and targeted pressure relief around the trochanteric and coccygeal regions, helping users achieve a more stable and comfortable seated position.
How does the Pratico cushion support pelvic positioning?
The Pratico incorporates Pro Medicare’s patented Pelvic Total Support (PTS) technology and 13 configurable structural inserts. These allow seating specialists to tailor support around the pelvis and thighs to accommodate individual anatomical differences and mild postural asymmetries.
The cushion can be configured to address positioning requirements such as pelvic obliquity, pelvic rotation, anterior and posterior pelvic tilt, and windswept posture.
Who is the Pratico cushion suitable for?
The Pratico is designed for wheelchair users with moderate postural support requirements who also benefit from maintaining manoeuvrability, self-propulsion and ease of transfers.
It may be considered for individuals with mild pelvic asymmetries or conditions affecting seated stability, including cerebral palsy, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries. Suitability should always be determined through an individual clinical seating assessment.
Can the Pratico cushion be customised as a user's seating needs change?
Yes. The Pratico features a modular structural kit containing 13 independent, pre-shaped closed-cell polyethylene inserts.
These can be configured by an appropriately trained seating professional to accommodate changes in posture, body shape or positioning requirements over time. This adaptability allows the cushion to provide individualised support without relying on a completely fixed seating shape.
What sizes are available for the Pratico wheelchair cushion?
The Pratico is available in 15 paediatric and adult sizes, ranging from 20 × 25 cm to 48 × 50 cm (width × depth).
The manufacturer’s stated maximum user weight is 135 kg. The correct size and configuration should be selected according to the user’s measurements, wheelchair dimensions, postural presentation and individual seating requirements.
Does the Pratico cushion provide pressure redistribution and seated comfort?
Yes. The Pratico combines its configurable structural base with a layered padding system designed to support seated comfort and pressure distribution.
Its upper memory-foam layer adapts to the user’s body shape, while the lower flexible polyurethane foam layer provides additional support. The cushion also incorporates trochanteric and coccygeal suspension features to help reduce loading around these sensitive anatomical areas.
Pratico is intended for users with relatively low pressure-injury risk. Users with more complex skin-protection requirements should undergo an individual clinical assessment to determine the most appropriate seating solution.
