Back Cushion (Accessory)

The back cushion is very important to ensure that you are comfortable sitting in the wheelchair and to stabilise your upper body laterally. Consult a specialist retailer before making a purchase and try out a variety of cushions.

Installation and height adjustment the back cushion

Follow the instructions provided with your back cushion

Special adapters and holders are included with most back cushions. Some also have quick-release systems, e.g. to remove the cushion from the back support quickly. Refer to the separate instruction manual for your back cushion for more details.

For the Scewo "Backbone Basic" back cushion, which was specially developed for the BRO, a separate guideline exists. You can find this online on our Helpcenter.

On the Scewo BRO, back cushions can be mounted at two different initial heights. There are two mounting holes, each fitted with an M5 thread spaced 25 mm apart. The height can then be adjusted precisely using the cushion adapters. The Scewo BRO fastening is compatible with the following back cushion systems:

  • Model series “Jay” by the manufacturer Sunrise Medical (adapters with a quick-release system can be directly screwed on).

  • Back cushions produced by Scewo, which have been designed specifically for the BRO. More information is available on our website.

Adjusting the depth/angle of the back cushion

The angle and depth of many back cushions can be adjusted. A range of different adapters or holders are also often available. Please refer to the separate instructions for your back cushion and consult a specialist reseller.
