I have noticed in the last few weeks that my husband is slipping over in his pwc more and more. He has me re-align him at least 4-5 times each evening and the nurse just called me and told me she had to do it 10 times today. his upper body is going left and his hips are going right, and he slides forward a little too. the seatbelt keeps him from hitting the floor but obviously his trunk is weakening. he is in denial of course (classic). When we got the chair it has guides for the hips but not the sides and the guides are not pushedup against his hips anyway so there is several inches between his skinny butt and the side of the chair (if that makes sense). he refuses to sit in the chair with it tilted on a regular basis. I have seen a thing that goes between the legs to keep from sliding forward--does anyone have one of those? do they work with the roho cushion? also what kind of supports do others use/have in the chair?
