Design, manufacture and evaluation of an offloading 3D printed wheelchair cushion

It was concluded that 3D printed cushion can match the performance of an existing standard of care cushion. This provides the foundation for future development of personalised 3D printed cushions offering significant advances in affordability, comfort, and pressure reduction, for wheelchair users.
