If you need a foot propelled wheelchair designed to accommodate individuals without compromising comfort and mobility, look no further than Broda’s Sashay foot propel/pedal chair. Foot-propelled wheelchairs (often called “pedal wheelchairs”) are set low to the ground so the individual can use their feet to maneuver and walk the wheelchair from a seated position. This type of wheelchair works well for users with arm weakness or pain but muscular enough leg strength to maneuver the wheelchair on their feet.
At BILD in Milwaukee, we are pleased to offer the Sashay among a wide selection of Broda products and other adaptive equipment designed to keep you safe, comfortable and independent.
Enhanced Weight Capacity and Comfort
The Sashay Foot Propel PedalWheelchair can accommodate users of up to a 350-pound weight capacity, making it an ideal solution for various body types. Like the other chairs in Broda’s line of high-quality products, the Sashay also features its Comfort Tension Seating system. This unique network of individual straps evenly distributes weight and improves airflow, maximizing comfort and reducing the risk of pressure sores.
With the Sashay, you can enjoy a dynamic range of motion while engaging your leg muscles, promoting circulation, and improving overall well-being. Its ergonomic design ensures you experience comfort throughout your day, whether at home, in the community, or at work.
Improved Mobility and Engagement
A low seat height promotes proper foot positioning, allowing users to propel themselves without lifting their knees. The 18-degree seat tilt enables the wheelchair user to maintain better eye contact so they can engage in conversation, therapy and other daily activities. This tilt positioning also provides stability for the wheelchair user to maintain comfortable pelvic positioning and minimize slouching.
The Sashay seat base ranges from 12.5” to 17.5” heights (plus cushion thickness) for low height to allow for easy floor access for foot propulsion. The Sashay can be configured with a narrow all-castor configuration for maneuvering narrow spaces or an extensive front or rear mag wheel configuration to allow for upper body propulsion.
Durability and Reliability
Broda’s Sashay foot-propel wheelchair is built to last. With its robust construction and high-quality materials, including its 16-gauge powder-coated tubular steel frame, you can trust that this wheelchair will withstand daily use and provide long-lasting performance. Its durability is a testament to Broda’s commitment to delivering top-notch assistive technology.
