INSTRUCTION MANUAL OAKWORKS® ButterflyCushion ™*
OAKWORKS® ButterflyCushion ™ Instructions The ButterflyCushion ™ is designed to meet your positioning needs in a way that no other product can. The adjustability afforded by the air system insures proper positioning and client comfort while the client is on it and without repeated attempts at finding the right height for support. The two chamber design, with asymmetrical support regions, offers a wide range of positioning options.
Pe lv ic S u p por t: If you fold the ButterflyCushion ™ in half (Fig.3) you can locate it under the pelvis (Fig 4) to offer support. Start with the cushion almost completely deflated and slowly pump it up until your client is comfortable. Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Lu m b a r S u pp or t: Lay the ButterflyCushion ™ flat under the client’s back, with the larger section in the lumbar area and the smaller section mid-back. (Fig. 5) As always, start with the cushion almost completely empty.
Support Options (cont.) Th o r a c ic S u pp or t The ButterflyCushion™ can be used in the thoracic region (Fig. 10) to create a mild stretch or relieve pressure on the spine. It can also be pumped up more on one side than the other to support people with scoliosis, and access to the upper spine is improved by lifting the client off the table. Fig. 10 Back Support: The ButterflyCushion ™ can be turned 90º from the position shown in Fig. 10 above and moved anywhere along the spine (Fig. 11).
