Custom Seating for Posture Correction
There are many reasons why using a Broda postural support wheelchair or chair is a safe and effective way to treat posture deviations. Broda helps clinicians successfully treat challenging cases of postural deviations, such as kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis, contractures, and many other conditions.
Broda wheelchairs can be personalized to specific body shapes. This means clinicians can adjust the wheelchair to meet the specific needs of each individual user. This is important for correcting postural abnormalities. Each person’s body is unique and requires its own specific adjustments.

Creating Comfortable Seating Solutions for Postural Deviations
Postural alignment and weight distribution are the main factors in a person’s risk for developing pressure wounds. At Broda, our goal is to match people with comfortable medical seating options that reduce their risk for pressure injuries. That’s why we created our one-of-a-kind Comfort Tension Seating® system. Unlike conventional sling-style wheelchairs, Comfort Tension Seating® consists of individual straps that mold to the user’s body, thus creating a uniquely supportive seating surface. Compared to a typical cushion, this system suspends the user’s weight evenly across multiple points, rather than a solid seating surface.
Positioning Features & Tool-less Adjustability
No more reaching for the toolbox to adjust wheelchairs for postural deviations. With Broda, you have a simpler solution.
A single caregiver can comfortably reposition a patient with the easy-to-use handles. Simply squeeze the handles to engage the tilt or recline. Then, the specialty gas cylinders help you raise and lower the wheelchair user.
Many of our postural support wheelchairs pair well with accessories from the Matrx® Seating Series from Motion Concepts. These accessories can be mounted at various angles, and many can be adjusted without the use of tools to help you get the perfect fit, every time.
Improved Mobility with a Precisely Adjusted Wheelchair
Broda wheelchairs for postural deviation can increase independence in activities of daily living (ADLs) such as self-feeding, dressing, or grooming. Users can adjust their wheelchair posture support to their unique frame. After such adjustments, many notice an improvement in breathing, digestion, and overall postural alignment. People who use Broda wheelchairs often experience increased mobility, thus allowing them to live fuller, more independent lives.
