“The chair is very stable due to the frame and the brake and it gives us a safe and quick patient transfer as well as a safe training — and it can also be used in other therapeutic areas.”
Patients can sit down at training units by them selves after we got this chair, as the good stability and handbrake tend to make patients more independent.”

Patients can easily be seated. Armrests and the brake provide the patient with confidence when sitting down. The free-rolling castors allow positioning of the patient at a MOTOmed trainer. Once positioned the wheels are locked for stability.
