Re: [QUAD-L] Roho

[Don Price]

I also used a Jay gel cushion my first 25 years before I got my first pressure 
sore. I then switched to a Roho air cushion and haven't had any skin issues 
since. 

The Jay cushion is more stable but it amplifies any bumps, such as sidewalk 
cracks, as you roll over them. The Roho is less stable for transfers but much 
more forgiving and cushy over bumps. Another interesting thing about air 
cushions is how they are affected by elevation; when I drive from Phoenix to 
Flagstaff--an increase in elevation of about 6,000 ft--I have to let air out of 
my cushion or it becomes too hard. There are pros and cons for each type of 
cushion.

FYI, the Roho President monitors this list for any issues and feedback 
regarding their products. I think that is really cool and very proactive on 
Roho's part. We, the end users, really know how well the product works better 
than anyone.

Don.

Even a pinhole leak could have you bottoming out after a day or two, and you

Re: [QUAD-L] Roho custom cushion

[Bob Vogel]

I've been using Roho custom cushions for years.  I have a custom Roho cushion 
for my handcycle with 2" high
cells and dual chambers (a right and left airflow valve), I use the same custom 
Roho cushion on my car seat.
For my chair I have a custom Roho Quadtro Select Hi Profile that is tapered 
from rear-to-front of my
chair (my chair is 2" wider in the front than the back).

In my opinion, unless you know exactly what you want in the custom department, 
it is important to get imput
from a seating clinic and/or seating specialist.  I have a pelvic obliquity (my 
left ischium is 2" higher than
my right ishium so all the pressure is on my left ishium)--I was thinking about 
getting a custom Quadtro with 
3" cells on the left quadrant and 4" cells everywhere else.  After speaking

Re: [QUAD-L] Roho seat cushion

[greg]

Is this different from the Roho Quadtro?
I think mine is a Quadtro, and it has 4 areas that after you sit in it you lock 
the air in place.
It is supposed to help with stability.
But there is only 1 valve. You can't inflate each separately. You move the air 
where you want it by sitting on it, then lock it.

Re: [QUAD-L] Roho seat cushion

[Bob Vogel]

Hi Bobbie, "KK" and all,

ROHO makes a wide variety of sandard and custom cushions.  The one I use is the 
ROHO High Profile Quadtro Select.  As Bobbie explained, it consists of air 
filled neoprene cells--the cells on the Quadtro Select are divided into four 
chambers--two in the back (one that supports each ishium) and two in front.  In 
the front of the cushion is a red/green adjustment button--push the green 
button and all of the cells of the entire cusion are connected--position 
yourself they way you want to be supported, then push the red button and the 
air in all four chambers stays in place for a custom fit.  A fit that can be 
changed throughout the day.

Disclaimer--I write a blog for ROHO.  Last year I wrote a blog explaining how 
often insurance will pay for a new cushion--every 3 years--and how to go about 
getting properly fit for a cushion.  Here is the link:
http://blog.therohogroup.com/index.php/2011/11/how-often-should-you-replace-your-cushion/

Sincerely,
Bob Vogel

Bobbie,

I am on a Roho Contour Select. It is a cushion with air cells but the area of 
the cushion where your Ishialls would be is cut out so your boney protuberances 
are suspended in the cutout.
I purchased the cushion from Spinlife.com. They help with the paperwork for 
insurance.

Re: [QUAD-L] Roho lifespan

1st, I would call Roho in Bloomington, IL and ask them for the official

individuals.

RE: [QUAD-L] Roho

[Dan]

By stability we mean how well the cushion holds you in place. The 
Roho is great because when you lean one way or the other the air in 
the coushion moves in order to prevent more pressure on that area 
that you are leading to. This works great in preventing pressure 
sores but if you start to lean one way or the other you just keep 
going. With a regular foam cushion this doesn't happen. You tend to 
stay put -- better for stability but not so good in preventing 
pressure sores. So, for us quads that have difficulty keeping our 
sitting balance, we have to try to find a way in between firmness and softness.

Hi Dan,

I do sit to one side due to a severe scoliosis. I'm glad you had good 
results with the Quatro roho. I am definitely going to try it. As it 
is now, even the slight slope of a sidewalk will start my body 
tipping the wrong way. My spine is fused so there's not much they can 
do about that. Hopefully, this cushion will do the trick. Thanks for the help.

You have to protect your skin for at least the next 6 months. It takes that 
long for the healing of the flap to become stable. 
They make jogging pants that unzip down the sides. They might offer some 
protection to your skin while you transfer. They could be too slick, too. 
Have you talked to an OT about your problem?

The only way to see if a cushion is good for you is to be mapped.
It's easy. Everyone's butt is different.  A 600 dollar cushion may give you
pressure when a 100 cushion does not.
Check with your DME or wheelchair clinic.

Subject:[QUAD-L] ROHO Question

Hello everybody,
I been using the Jay 2 cushion for quite a few years but I been think of
going to a ROHO cushion. I want a cushion that has better airflow on my
butt, it just seems like I get a heat rash and need to get some fresh air
and from what I read about the ROHO (Ventilated: Separate air cells allow
air circulation to reach the surface of the skin and provide cooling
environment.) and that sounds just like what I need. I am looking at the THE
ROHO(r) CONTOUR SELECT(r) CUSHION or ENHANCER(r) CUSHION, which one would
you guys suggest?

 I guess I'm pretty lucky that my first one lasted about 13 years.  It
didn't start leaking until a 12 year and then all I had to do was put there
in it every couple of days.

  I usually get between 3 and 5 years from a roho. If you overfil one it will 
die fast. You should sit down into the seat. You need to check with a PT and be 
sure you are on it right. Any bicycle inner tube repair kit will work as a

I've called the factory a couple of times in the past.  They are  located
in Illinois.  Customer service has always been nice and  helpful.  Especially
when it comes to the Roho name and warranty.   Call their 800 and see for
yourself.  Then let the rest of us know what  happened.

Re: [QUAD-L] Roho cushion problem

[Cullen]

I have had quadtro cushions for about 7 years. I have had a lot of problems 
with the valve in front leaking , I haven't keep track of the number of times 
they have been in for repair , but it seems like a lot. I'm lucky the VA gives 
me a back up cushion. I just got an airpulse pk , so far I like it, except it 
is firmer than the rohos even on it's lowest setting.

Hi everybody :-)

I have a serious roho cushion problem. Some of you might give me some suitable 
and effective advice.

Its almost 3 and half years I bought one roho cushion quadtro pro high profile. 
I was more then satisfied with it. Because after using it I did not have any 
more pressure sore. Quite peaceful life.

Suddenly yesterday it was found that it was leaked under my right butt. My 
attendants tried, but couldn't trace out the leak (there is leak for sure).

Now, for an immediate measure I started using it with placing front side at the 
back. Those who used it must be knowing that, it works on a isoflo quadrennial 
compartment memory system. So that even 1 compartment is leaked, rest 3 
compartments are effective.


As my attendants couldn't trace out the leak, I am waiting for my brother to 
come and trace the leak. He is staying in another city and he will come after 
few weeks.

Now, my question is, can I use it this way for some time ? Will it damage the 
system ? Or, what do you suggest ? Even buying a new one will take some time as 
I am not residing in USA. Also, if I need to buy a new one, please suggest any 
seller where I may get best price.


Thanks in advance for your valuable advice :-)

Please take care :-)

Yours,

Re: [QUAD-L] ROHO Cushion-and a nudist

[wheelchair]

 
Once, I met a real female nudist, in her chair.  Well, I think she was  a 
nudist.  I mean she was in a chair, ala natural.  She gave me the  impression 
that she was a nudist.  Or maybe it was a nudist car wash and  she was naked at 
the time.
Maybe she wasn't a nudist.  Just a woman who wanted to wash her chair  and 
not get her clothes wet.
Oh Well, it was a great thought.

Re: [QUAD-L] ROHO Cushion

[Oconnelldb]

 
 
I don't attach it at all.  I make a case about twice as long as the  cushion, 
drop my 2 inch Roho in and fold over the extra.   I  just set this in my 
chair and don't have much trouble with sliding or cushion  movement.   (The 
case 
fits pretty snugly around the cushion.)  I  can lift and readjust if needed but 
once I'm in and have the cushion straight  under me, I'm set for the day.

RE: [QUAD-L] ROHO Cushion

[Greg]

I have had great luck with Rohos, but just last week I started to get a bad
spot on my butt. It actually broke open a bit. My cushion did not have
enough air in it. I was so worried about the spot since I've done so well, I
called the PT I've seen a few times. I went in and she mapped my pressure on
the computer. It was pretty good. I had put too much air back in, but once
it was adjusted it showed no red or yellow pressure spots. The spot is
really looking good now at least. Those are such scary things. It can really
screw up your daily life.

Re: [QUAD-L] Roho w/ pressure mapping built in

Hi Dan,
   
  ROHO may already be looking at this idea.  Here is a Link to their Interface 
Pressure Measurement Systems that are available now.
   
  http://www.therohogroup.com/medical/ipms.jsp
  The XSENSOR® X3 MOBILE SYSTEM looks like it could just about be interrogated 
into a ROHO now.

  I was getting a lot of break downs from my Jay Cushion but now since they  give me this Deep Contour Jay Cushion I have had no break downs what so  ever and I sit every bit of 10 hours a day in my chair taking the very important  weight shifts every 2 to 2 1/2 hours in between for 15 to 18 minutes. It's been  6 years now since I got this new Deep Contour Jay Cushion.~LittleQuad~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  i'm extremely active but don't transfer and have tried all cushions but the mapped one... and so far the roho is best...next month makes 8 years on roho...RONALD L PRACHT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: WellI think that the Roho cushions

Hi Ron,     You are right about the transfers with a ROHO.  Also, if you have balance issues, like I do because I only have my left leg, a ROHO might not be the best seat for you.  I hope this helps.  Stay strong.     With Love,  CtrlAltDel aka DaveC4/5 Complete - 30 Years PostTexas, USA  RONALD L PRACHT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:WellI think that the Roho

Re: [QUAD-L] Roho cushions

[Lori Michaelson]

I have tried ROHO cushions several times over the last 26 years since my injury.  I really decided I needed a cushion on my Permobile a little over a year ago.
 
Once again I tried a ROHO cushion.  I know there are several different versions of them now but I have never been able to balance on them.  So when I was trying out cushions ... the vendor brought a few that he thought would work for me.  One was called a VARILITE and that is the one I chose.  It is a fantastic cushion!
 
Their web site is www.varilite.com

If you ask me roho cushions are a joke. You cant transfer off of them because you sink in like a waterbed. They also pop easily , and you get this all for 400.00, what a deal, lol. Ive used a J2 gel for 8 years and never had a sore problem. The cushion is great because is has a solid front to transfer off of, but gel in the back for your butt. Whoever designed that was thinking from a wheelchair users perspective.

Re: [QUAD-L] roho cushion repair

[Win]

I've had repairs made when it was just punctures on the round egg 
parts, and they've held pretty good. I've never tried fixing it when 
it was in the seam, but I would think it would work just as well. 
Although I'm thinking that there might be a manufacturer's defect if 
it coming apart in the seams.


With your cushion, did you get a patch kit? Years ago (I would guess 
around 20 years) the cushions used to have a tube of "rubber glue" in 
it. It was black in color (to go with the cushion), and that stuff 
would work great. I wouldn't even have to put a patch on top of the 
repair. But lately, the patch kits have gotten flimsier, and the glue 
isn't as thick.


Good luck with your repair, and let us know if the gorilla glue works 
out. I'll have to try that with my next repair if it does work

going to be, would appreciate any advice if anybody has been able to

Re: [QUAD-L] ROHO

[David K. Kelmer]

Hi Dave,
 
I remember when they moved out there.  What did they do with the property on I-17 between Bethany and Camelback Roads?  I used to eat at a nice steak-house just south of the old Honeywell place.  I almost miss Phoenix.  :)

Re: [QUAD-L] ROHO

[dave oconnell]

Hi Ray,
I work in Phoenix too at I-17 and Union Hills
(Honeywell).  If you'd like to stop and say hi
sometime, I'd be glad to meet you.  Just ask the front
desk to call me at x3928 or at my desk and I'll 'run'
out.
