Tilt-in-space is the most important feature in a wheelchair—in an effort to reduce pressure, create comfort and to aid in repositioning. Broda™ seating chairs differ in the way our chairs tilt-in-space than most other chairs on the market, which is one reason why they are a superior wheelchair. Broda™ chairs are designed so that the back of the seat (buttocks) drops into the base of the chair when it is tilted. The front the chair remains in the same position as it was before tilt. This creates a wedge in the chair that provides safety, comfort, pressure reduction and positioning for the individual in the chair. Most chairs tilt on an axis, therefore the whole seat rotates toward the ceiling when tilting the individual (much like the new outdoor seating that is on the market today). This does provide pressure reduction, but also changes the eye level of the individual in the chair - they now are looking at the ceiling, instead straight ahead, which is a great feature of the Broda™ Chair you get a steady, straight ahead eye gaze. Axis tilting also elevates the individual in the chair—creating an awkward position.
Recline is a great feature in wheelchairs - but not necessarily the most useful. Recline works just like the lazy boy chairs - drops the back down toward the floor. This feels good for a short time, but puts pressure on the lower back region after a time. If you have ever laid flat in bed for any length of time—your lower back doesn’t have proper support in the curve and will begin to ache after a time of not changing position or elevating your upper body. Recline can also create sheer in the very thin skinned individuals.
A chair that can provide both tilt in space and recline is a chair that can provide excellent positional changes and well as overall comfort for the individual. To read more please click here to download a positioning poster.
