“The custom Broda [Synthesis Positioning] Wheelchair has made all the difference for our resident’s quality of life. We trialed a variety of seating systems for someone with his erratic movements and were unable to find a solution to keep him comfortable and safe when out of bed. This resulted in the patient spending the majority of time in bed isolated from his peers. With the Broda [Synthesis Positioning Wheelchair] he is now asking nursing staff first thing in the morning to get him into his wheelchair. He is up in the wheelchair 6-10 hours a day and maintains appropriate positioning the entire day. This allows him to be a more active participant in his environment and maintain safety. He attends all of the facility led activities and has made many friends throughout the facility. This wheelchair has truly changed his life.”
