Authors comments
The user designed the first ROHO cushion and Hjälpmedelcentralen (assistive device center) placed a special order for it. When it broke he used a Roho Clean Protect, which is actually intended as an accessory for the Clean shower chair. The user turns it around and uses it backwards, which works well for him. His first Roho cushion developed a hole, so he now also uses the foam rubber cushion as added protection. He maintains a good stable seated position. The anti-slip material that he applied to the footrests helps to keep his legs in place. He uses the shower chair for toilet purposes and to shower.

It is important to check the air pressure of the Roho cushion regularly since a puncture or defective valve can cause it to lose air.
