Broda Chair Transportation for Patients with Limited Mobility
What a Broda chair is, why it requires specialized transport, and how Allegiance coordinates safe transportation for patients who use one.
← Back to ResourcesA Broda chair is a tilt-in-space positioning chair commonly used in skilled nursing and long-term care settings for patients who need significant postural support and can’t be safely transferred into a standard wheelchair for transport.
Why Broda Chairs Require Specialized Transport
Because a Broda chair tilts and supports the body differently than a standard wheelchair, it requires securement that accounts for that positioning — straightforward wheelchair tie-down points aren’t always sufficient on their own.
Who Typically Uses a Broda Chair
Broda chairs are most common among long-term care and memory care residents with limited trunk control or positioning needs that make transferring to another chair impractical or unsafe for routine trips.
Coordinating Broda Chair Transport
Facilities scheduling a trip for a resident who uses a Broda chair should let us know in advance so we can confirm the right vehicle and securement setup is available for pickup.
