Broda - Pedal

Broda Pedal Chair is a tilt-in-space specialty seating system that includes integrated pedal footrests, allowing patients with some lower extremity function to self-propel or assist with foot-driven movement. It combines Broda's full postural support and pressure management capabilities with a pedal mechanism that promotes activity and independence for appropriate patients.

The pedal feature also aids in circulation and can support gentle lower extremity exercise under therapist guidance. OxyCare supplies and sets up Broda Pedal Chairs for home and facility use, and rental is available.
