ROHO®QUADTRO SELECT®Cushion Ination and Adjustment Guide
The QUADTRO SELECT®has four compartments of air cells. When the ISOFLO®Memory Control is open, the air ows freely between the compartments. When the
ISOFLO is closed, the air is “locked” within each compartment. The ination level of each compartment can be separately adjusted. This allows you to correct or
accommodate side-to-side and/or anterior-posterior asymmetries of the pelvis and upper legs. NOTE: Before adjusting the cushion for an asymmetry, you MUST
adjust the air ination level to the proper cushion ination setting as outlined below.

Adjustment Hand Check Results
1. Place the QUADTRO SELECT®cushion in the
wheelchair with the air cells facing up and the non-
skid surface of the cover facing down.
2. Before inating, you must open the ISOFLO Memory
Control so that all of the air cells inate. To open,
push green knob toward the unlocked position.
3. Slide the rubber nozzle of the hand pump over
the ination valve. Pinch the
nozzle, turn to open the
ination valve, and overinate
the air cells.
4. Remove the hand pump.
• If you can slightly move your ngertips: the cushion
is at the proper cushion ination setting (½” - 1” air
between the lowest bony prominence and the seat
surface) and no further adjustment required.
• If you can easily move your ngertips: there is too
much air between the lowest bony prominence and
the seat surface. Open the ination valve and slowly
release air until you can barely move your ngertips,
then close the ination valve.
• If you cannot move your ngertips at all: there is too
little/no air between the lowest bony prominence
and the seat surface. Open the ination valve and
slowly add air until you can slightly move your
ngertips, then close the ination valve.

1. The individual should sit in
the chair in their usual
position. The cushion should
be centred beneath the
individual.
2. Perform a hand check:
a. Slide your hand between the
cushion and the individual.
Lift the leg slightly and feel
for the lowest bony
prominence, and then lower
the leg to a sitting position.
b. Open the ination valve to
remove air, keeping your
hand beneath the
individual’s lowest bony
prominence.
c. Release air until you
can slightly move your
ngertips. Close the
ination valve

ROHO®QUADTRO SELECT®Cushion and Adjustment Guide
NOTE: Before adjusting the cushion for an asymmetry, you MUST perform a hand check to adjust the air ination level to the proper cushion ination setting as detailed on the
reverse side of this document
To correct a reducible (exible) posterior
pelvic tilt (anterior-posterior asymmetry)
To correct a reducible (exible) pelvic
obliquity (lateral asymmetry)
To accommodate a non-reducible (xed)
postural asymmetry
1. Make sure the ISOFLO Memory Control is open
(press green knob in). FIGURE 1
2. Make sure the pelvis is located at the back of the
cushion, in a neutral and upright position. FIGURE 2
3. Use your hands to create downward pressure on
both sides of the pelvis to force air to the front
quadrants and create a contour for the pelvis that
will help discourage forward migration; close the
ISOFLO Memory Control (press red knob in), and
then release the pressure on the pelvis. FIGURE 3
4. Perform a hand check and make sure there is a
minimum of ½ - 1” of air between the ischial
tuberosity and the seat surface. FIGURE 4
1. Make sure the ISOFLO Memory Control is open
( press green knob in ) FIGURE 1
2. Make sure the pelvis is positioned at the back of the
cushion. FIGURE 2
3. Position the pelvis in a neutral and upright position
by pressing down on the higher side of the pelvis
until the pelvis is level. FIGURE 5 & 6.
This will force more air into the quadrant under the
lower side of the pelvis to help prevent it from tilting
to that side. FIGURE 7
4. Close the ISOFLO Memory Control (press red knob
in), release your pressure on the pelvis. FIGURE 3
5. Perform a hand check and make sure there is a
minimum of ½ - 1 “ of air between the ischial
tuberosity and the seat surface. FIGURE 8
1. Make sure the ISOFLO Memory Control is open
(press green knob in). FIGURE 1
2. Have the individual sit on the cushion in the most
upright and midline posture that they can achieve.
FIGURE 9
3. Close the ISOFLO Memory Control (press red knob
in). This will help hold the pelvis in the best posture
that is achievable by that individual and prevent
further progression into asymmetry. FIGURE 3
4. Perform a hand check and make sure there is a
minimum of ½ - 1” of air between the lowest ischial
tuberosity and the seat surface. FIGURE 8 & 10
