EXPERT COMMENT: ‘This is a great piece of equipment,’ says occupational therapist Helen Rushton. ‘Many patients who have had major surgery find twisting and turning difficult — especially if the operation has involved the abdomen. Getting in and out of a car, for instance, can be impossible. ‘ The cushion is especially helpful for those who have trouble lifting their legs and twisting simultaneously, such as people with arthritis.’
