Wheelchair cushions are critical for users who spend a large amount of time in their wheelchair, and an effective cushion can play a significant role in the overall health of the user. Cushions redistribute the weight of a wheelchair user evenly across their buttocks, while an insufficient cushion can create problems for wheelchair-bound individuals including ulcers, posture issues, and blood flow restrictions. These problems are even further magnified for individuals who have loss of feeling in their legs, as they can not detect the development of injuries until they are visibly apparent or manifest in greater health issues. For these reasons, regulatory standards exist for wheelchair cushions. Standards such as [ISO 16840-2](https://www.iso.org/standard/84862.html) exist to protect wheelchair users by providing a standard to which cushions can be tested. By using wheelchair cushions that meet these standards, users can have a degree of assurance that the product they're using will minimize risks associated with prolonged wheelchair use. -For a product to achieve adherence to a professional standard, the product must usually be experimentally tested \ No newline at end of file +For a wheelchair cushion to pass this standard, it must be experimentally tested. \ No newline at end of file
