Multiple Sclerosis

Depending on the symptoms, the needs of a resident with MS can vary. Broda chairs help address several needs such comfort, support and pressure reduction. They can help to maintain a resident’s level of social interaction by encouraging mobility for more independent residents and a front pivot tilt to maintain resident’s eye level.

The Comfort Tension Seating™ used on all Broda chairs, provides comfort and pressure reduction to help maintain long term comfort for residents who are unable to reposition themselves.

Infinitely adjustable tilt in space (and recline on some models) allows for easy repositioning to provide optimal postural support. The tilt also helps to cradle the resident, creating a comforting effect.

For those who have some mobility but cannot walk, the Pedal Chair and 587 Tilt Wheelchair encourages independence. The front pivot tilt-in-space design allows for a proper foot on floor position for propelling even when tilted -- encouraging safe mobility and independence. This is also excellent for helping to prevent falls.

The 785 and Elite line are excellent as they offer swing away removable sides for ease of side transfers.

Finally, Broda’s HSP Padding package upgrade is also an ideal solution. It offers additional support and protection, keeping the resident safe and comfortable.
