The Broda Encore Pedal Wheelchair (Rocking) (48R V4) combines comfort, functionality, and style in a highly-customizable and infinitely-adjustable package. As the name suggests, the entire seat rocks gently back and forth to soothe anxious patients and provide the comforting sensation of movement. Patients can rock themselves or have caregivers stimulate the movement; similarly, patients can self-propel with their feet or arms via optional front-mounted mag wheels, or allow caregivers to propel them with the rear caregiver handle designed to provide precise control over maneuverability.
Support and positioning are forefronts in the Encore Pedal Wheelchair. The angle of the chair can be adjusted up to 18 degrees thanks to the tilt-in-space feature; this range increases to 33 degrees when combined with the rocking motion. Adjusting the chair's angle serves to accommodate more ergonomic positioning for sitting and self-propulsion and also reduces pressure on sensitive areas with pressure ulcers or other skin irritations. Broda's signature Comfort Tension Seating utilizes a series of elastic bands that uniquely conform to the patient's contours, enhancing comfort without sacrificing vital support; the long-lasting bands return quickly to their original shape when no longer weight-bearing.
To personalize this chair to the individual patient, multiple seat widths, depths, and heights from the floor, as well as back heights are available. Height-adjustable armrests with soft padding are also upgradable to different styles to suit your patient's needs. The upper lateral support wings can be adjusted to accommodate the patient and are also entirely removable to suit the situational needs. Lower side pads, shoulder bolsters, seat and back pads, and a neck rest all come standard for optimal comfort and positioning. To ensure durability and longevity, the frame is made of powder-coated steel and can support up to 350 pounds; both the frame and upholstery are available in multiple color options, allowing for a personalized touch.
To further customize the Broda Encore Pedal Wheelchair (Rocking) (48R V4) to the patient's needs, a series of accessories are available. Stationary, swing-away, and/or elevating footrests increase the positioning benefits of the chair, while the IV pole and O2 holder ensure the chair is compatible with the medical needs of the patient. Front-mounting mag wheels increase the chair's versatility and allow for hand self-propulsion, and the detachable tray provides a stable workspace for everything from eating to coloring.
