    Insights into Seated Comfort: Unveiling Challenges & Coping Strategies Among Wheelchair Users in the U.S Insights into Seated Comfort: Unveiling Challenges & Coping Strategies Among Wheelchair Users in the U.S April 2024 Comfort is a paramount concern for wheelchair users, as certain behaviors and considerations have to be made such as medication management, changing positions, exercise, and exploring complementary therapies. These findings delve into data from the wheelchair user population to closely examine the lived experience of wheelchair users, shedding light on the complexities that shape their daily lives. Open the insights or read more below To enhance seated comfort, wheelchair users have adopted a range of coping strategies for handling extended periods of sitting. The intent of these methods is to disrupt, redistribute, or shift constant pressures away from the ischial tuberosities (ITs) and sacrum. Among wheelchair users, a notable prevalence of respondents reported moving from side to side (56%) and repositioning themselves (72%) as common coping mechanisms. Coping strategies such as fidgeting, stretching, slouching, and repositioning themselves, often occur subconsciously as the wheelchair user attempts to alleviate discomfort. Offloading methods are deliberate and aim to intentionally alleviate and redistribute pressure away from sensitive pressure points, particularly around bony prominences. These intentional offloading methods include shifting from side to side, moving front to back, and lifting off the wheelchair. While able-bodied individuals often unconsciously adjust their posture to alleviate discomfort, wheelchair users face more chronic issues due to challenges in their ability to conveniently adjust their body position whenever necessary. Many of these individuals often endure prolonged periods of intolerable discomfort, ultimately hindering their engagement in basic everyday activities including work, education, and other recreational activities An addition to discomfort levels experienced by wheelchair users, the average number of hours before wheelchair users begin experiencing discomfort is 3.7 hours. A notable pattern emerges when comparing the uptick in discomfort reported by the U.S representative population after sitting for 30 minutes to 2 hours (40%) with a spike in discomfort reported by wheelchair users from sitting 2 to 4 hours (36%). In terms of gender distribution, a slightly higher proportion of females (52%) compared to males (46%) were found to be wheelchair users. Wheelchair users employ a diverse range of cushions and seating systems to alleviate the adverse effects of prolonged sitting, as shown in Figure 8. Among these, distributive/ immersion style cushions including air, foam, or gel cushions are prevalent among approximately two in five wheelchair users. Open the insights

  • Booster FAQs | Kalogon

    Booster is designed to reduce anxiety of using your existing air cushion, it can be installed onto most full-sized single cell air flotation wheelchair cushions. Booster is a device that attaches to your existing cushion. It maintains your clinician’s recommendation for pressure in an air flotation cushion and eliminates the need to manually adjust it. Booster FAQs What is Booster? Booster is ingeniously designed to alleviate the anxiety associated with using your current air cushion. Specifically created for compatibility with most full-sized single cell air flotation wheelchair cushions, Booster serves as an attachment to your existing cushion. Its primary function is to uphold your clinician's recommended pressure settings for an air flotation cushion. This device streamlines the user experience, providing a seamless solution for maintaining optimal cushion pressure. What is the technology behind Booster? Booster harnesses the advanced technology found in Kalogon's state-of-the-art Air Pressure Management Systems (APMS), which powers Kalogon’s Orbiter line of products. This sophisticated system enables Booster to assess air levels in real time, consider ambient factors, and make adjustments as required. Does Booster need power? Booster is charged using a provided USB cable and wall plug. It should take a few hours to get a complete charge. How does Booster attach to my cushion? Booster is equipped with an air hose that securely attaches to your cushion through the inflation valve, covering it entirely. The device comes with a convenient clip that can be utilized to fasten it to your cushion's cover or the body of your wheelchair. Additionally, for certain cushion brands, Booster seamlessly fits into a pouch designed for its accommodation, providing users with versatile and hassle-free attachment options. Do you have an instruction or user manual for Booster? Yes, you can find the Booster instruction manual online here . Instructional videos demonstrating the setup and usage area also available for your convenience. Can I cut the hose Booster uses to attach to my cushion? Yes, you can trim the hose to work with your cushion. Are replacement hoses available? Replacement hoses are available for purchase. If you need one, please contact the Kalogon team at contact@kalogon.com or (321) 465 4504 . Can Kalogon recommend what my air levels should be set at? Kalogon cannot provide specific recommendations for the optimal air levels in your cushion. It is strongly advised to consult with your clinician and collaborate with them, either through the Kalogon app or clinician mode, to customize the cushion settings according to your specific requirements. It's important to note that Booster arrives with default factory settings, which are not clinical recommendations. Personalizing the settings in consultation with your clinician is crucial to ensure the cushion meets your individual needs. How soon does Booster begin inflating when there is a change in ambient conditions? You may observe that it takes a few minutes for Booster to fully adjust after a change has been made. This adjustment period allows the device to optimize and stabilize the air levels according to the modified settings. How will Booster let me know that there is a potential leak? Booster provides audio cues and blinking lights as indicators when it detects a potential issue. These cues are designed to alert users when there is a potential leak. You may also receive these notifications if the hose is not correctly connected to the cushion's inflation valve, or if the inflation valve is closed. What do the lights on Booster mean? Booster features three lights - red, yellow, and green, each serving specific functions as outlined in the user instruction manual (Booster Instructions ). The red light functions as an error indicator, providing notifications for situations such as potential leaks, kinked hoses, or closed valves that require attention. The yellow light serves as the battery status indicator, signaling when the device is charging or when it has low power. The green light signifies that the device is in operation, detecting the presence of an individual on the cushion, and actively maintaining the pressure level. What cushions is Booster compatible with? Booster is compatible with single cell air cushions. If you have questions about your specific cushion, please contact the Kalogon team at contact@kalogon.com or (321) 465 4504 . Do I need a phone to use Booster? Booster works best with the Kalogon app, offering visual information for enhanced user experience. Booster also has a manual mode that allows for manipulation of the pressure setpoint without a phone. The Kalogon smartphone app is used primarily during initial setup, and it does not need to be used every day. Once the device has been set up, it is possible to use the device without reconnecting to the app. What phones does the Booster app work with? The Kalogon app is compatible with Apple iOS 12 or later versions or Google Android OS 11 or later. Devices running earlier versions of this software may be incompatible with the Kalogon app. Does Booster replace offloads? Booster does not replace the need to do offloads or pressure shifts. It's crucial to adhere to your clinician's guidance regarding the frequency, duration, and best practices for offloads that are tailored to your specific needs. How do I clean Booster? Booster generally will not need to be cleaned. If it has been left in a hot, humid, moist, or dusty climate, the device may not perform as expected. A light blast of air should be used to remove any visible dust from the outlet tube or around the seams of the enclosure. Should you get something on the outside of Booster, you can wipe it carefully with a dry cloth, a slightly damp cloth, or wiped carefully with a 70% or less IPA alcohol-based or antibacterial cleaning wipe. How long does the battery last? The battery life will last roughly 24 - 56 hours. If Booster is making a lot of adjustments, or if a potential leak is detected and the device is filling, the battery may last less time. My Booster won’t work, can you help? If you’ve been using your Booster successfully, the battery may be completely empty. Charge your device. While it’s charging you’ll see a yellow blinking, which will turn to solid yellow when the device is completely charged. If you’re using Booster for the first time, the device is likely still in transit mode. Unpack it and plug it in to charge. This will also help to ensure you’re completely powered up for your first use. I can’t get Booster to enter connecting mode with the app. How do I make that work? First off, please make certain that your device is fully charged. To enter connecting mode, you must hold both buttons down for 3 seconds. Once you’ve done this, all three lights on the device will flash in a cascading pattern. This will let you know you’ve entered connecting mode. I’m using my Booster, but the green light is not on. Why is this happening? There are two main reasons why this may be happening. One, the battery may be completely empty. Charge your device. While it’s charging you’ll see a yellow blinking, which will turn to solid yellow when the device is completely charged.

I keep getting notices from my Booster that I have a leak, but I can’t find one. Can you help me troubleshoot this? You may need to check a couple things to ensure your cushion does not have a leak. One, ensure the hose is completely fitted over the whole valve. There should be no gap between the end of the hose and the valve. Please refer to the instructions. Check your cushion for leaks according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you still can’t determine the source of this, report this issue to your local rep, who will work with you to report it to Kalogon. I noticed that Booster keeps pumping but there is no leak alert. Can you help me troubleshoot this? Booster will do occasional pump tests, and should return to normal shortly after. If pumping continues, you may need to check a couple things to ensure your cushion does not have a leak. Check your cushion for leaks according to the manufacturer’s instructions. You may need to check a couple things to ensure your cushion does not have a leak. One, check your cushion for leaks according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Think about where you have been using Booster, if there are altitude changes or ambient weather conditions, it is possible that the device is pumping due to external changes. If you still can’t determine the source of this, report this issue to your local rep, who will work with you to report it to Kalogon. I keep getting an “airway blocked” notice with my Booster, but the hose is not kinked. Can you help me troubleshoot this? Double check all your connections and that the cushion valve is open and that the hose is completely covering the valve. Review your cushion setup and where the hose sits on the cushion to ensure it is not getting temporarily kinked, closing off the airway. If you still can’t determine the source of this, report this issue to your local rep, who will work with you to report it to Kalogon. I’m in clinician mode, and when I block the airway, there are no alerts. Is there something I should do? When in clinician mode, the device only responds to button presses and no other inputs. This allows the clinician complete control over the setup. If you need to test alerts, exit clinician mode and then test the device.
