Seating Challenges
Adapting a Chair to Suit Various Resident's Needs
It can often be challenging to adapt an existing chair to suit a new resident or a current resident's changing needs. Broda makes it easy and cost effective to make adjustments to a chair in order to make it more versatile.
Seating Dimensions: Many Broda models allow for in-field adjustments of seat depth and back length (by adding extension plugs) as well as adjustable seat heights. Adjustable seat heights are especially important for those residents who are mobile and propel with their feet. For residents who are non mobile and require a footrest, the footrest on the Broda chairs allows for easy length adjustments to accommodate various leg lengths. If a narrower seat width is required, side reduction pads can be provided that reduce the seat width by 1" on each side.
Leg Positioning: Certain Broda models (Elite 35V, 85V, Basic 30VT and 80V) can accommodate a Contracture Sling that helps to accommodate residents with knee contractures. The Contracture Sling can be ordered factory installed as well as non factory by switching out the standard legrest/footrest. Should the needs of the resident change, the Contracture Sling can be switched out for the standard legrest/footrest.
General Needs: In order to accommodate changing needs, Broda offers various accessories that can be added to the chair to accommodate needs such as HSP Padding (for Huntington's or aggressive residents), Thigh Belt for safe positioning and fall prevention, as well as Lateral Torso Supports for positioning. Mag wheels and casters can also be swapped for one another on most Broda models as well.
