ABSTRACT:
A stiffener and support structure for dry flotation cushions used on wheelchairs and a method for supporting dry flotation cushions used in wheelchairs. The structure includes a substantially rectangular rigid plate for inserting into the fabric covering of a dry flotation cushion for improving the support provided by a plurality of dry flotation cells when the dry flotation cushion is supported on the side frame members of a wheelchair. The rigid support plate has chamfered corners and is preferably manufactured of clear, molded plastic. The support plate is also provided with a void on the frontward section to allow formation of a pouch-like storage area by the wheelchair occupant using the support plate in a dry flotation cushion.
