The Best Wheelchairs for Amputees and Limb Loss Patients
Amputee and limb loss patients need wheelchair seating that supports their residual limb(s) while helping them maintain proper posture throughout daily activities. Limb loss can severely affect an individual’s mobility, which is why Broda offers wheelchairs suited to every stage—and type—of limb loss, from recovery to long-term independence.
Broda wheelchairs help protect an individual’s residual limb(s) and reduce injury risk with advanced positioning options. Our wheelchairs for amputees minimize the risk of skin breakdown, and help prevent wounds and infection—all while supporting the individual’s dignity and daily routines.
Our Wheelchairs for Amputees and Limb Loss Patients
Comfortable Seating for Amputees and Limb Loss Patients
Amputees and limb loss patients experience acute pain and discomfort during recovery. They are also at a high risk of getting pressure ulcers, especially when the cause of amputation is related to poor circulation or diabetes.
Broda’s unique solution for support and relief is called Comfort Tension Seating®. Our wheelchairs use individual straps that reinforce and stabilize the user’s body. This suspends their weight across numerous points to redistribute pressure on bony prominences and the residual limb. This design helps protect amputees from dangerous and painful pressure injuries.
Postural Support for Preventative Care
Limb loss can shift a person’s center of gravity, creating postural imbalance and uneven pressure distribution.
Broda wheelchairs support an individual’s posture through adjustable tilt. This is particularly valuable for amputees managing residual limb pressure and circulation issues. The wheelchair’s tilt helps amputee patients avoid skin breakdown.
For conditions caused by vascular disease or diabetes, regular repositioning is a medical necessity. Our wheelchairs make it easy for a caregiver to manage all positioning adjustments, with smooth control to raise and lower the individual.
Independent Mobility
Broda wheelchairs support amputee independence from the moment of transfer to the destination. Removable arm, leg, and shoulder supports on many Broda models make transfers to and from the seat more manageable for both the user and caregiver.
Broda WC19-certified transport wheelchairs eliminate the need to transfer to a vehicle seat entirely: The user stays secure in their wheelchair for the full trip.
For amputees and limb-loss patients undergoing prosthetic fittings, repairs, and adjustments, a Broda wheelchair on hand keeps daily life moving, and your insurance plan may cover it.
Durable and High Quality
Broda wheelchair frames are built to outlast any competitor. We back this with an industry-leading 10-year frame warranty and a 2-year warranty on all wheelchair parts.
