Elite Rehab Wheelchair for The Elite family
The Elite Rehab is the clinician-facing chair in the Elite family, configured for seating clinics and rehab programs that fit users with aftermarket cushions and backs. Its solid seat pan gives a firm, level base for the included Matrx Seating Series cushion and for other rehab seating components a therapist may prescribe. Tilt to 40 degrees handles pressure redistribution and postural support, while the 15-degree adjustable back recline fine-tunes the seat-to-back angle for comfort and hip positioning. Two 5 in total-lock front casters and either rear casters or 20 in mag wheels keep the chair maneuverable in clinics, facilities and homes. For users who travel while seated, the WC19 configurations add a crash-tested transport package with mag wheels included.

Why Choose the Broda Elite Rehab Wheelchair?
Seating clinics choose this chair because the expensive part of the setup, a solid pan and a Matrx cushion, is already done when the box opens. That shortens fitting appointments and puts the chair into service faster for rehab programs working through a seating caseload.
- Cushion included and fitted – the Matrx cushion arrives pre-installed on the solid pan — no separate cushion order or mounting step before the first fitting
- Coded for rehab work – HCPCS E1161 supports the documentation rehab programs already use — the chair fits existing funding workflows
- Transport-ready options – WC19 configurations let fitted users travel in their own seating system — their custom posture travels with them
- One frame, many fits – widths to 28 in and four depths on one platform — clinics can standardize on one chair for most of the caseload

Frequently Asked Questions
What does HCPCS E1161 mean for this chair?
E1161 is the HCPCS code for a manual adult tilt-in-space wheelchair, which is how rehab seating programs document and bill chairs in this class. The Elite Rehab is coded E1161, matching the tilt-in-space design with its solid seat pan and cushion.
Is a cushion really included?
Yes. The solid seat pan ships with a Matrx Seating Series cushion pre-installed, so the chair arrives ready to fit. Therapists can still swap in a different prescribed cushion later because the pan provides a standard firm base.
How much recline does it have compared with the Synthesis?
The Elite Rehab reclines 15 degrees, which is an adjustable back-angle range for fine-tuning posture, while the Synthesis reclines up to 90 degrees for full resting positions. Both chairs tilt for pressure care; they differ in how far the back opens.
Do the WC19 configurations include mag wheels?
Yes. The WC19 transport package configurations are built with mag wheels and the crash-tested transport package, so the user can ride in the chair inside a vehicle. Standard caster and mag configurations without WC19 are not rated for occupied transport.
What warranty covers the chair?
Broda warrants the frame for 10 years and all parts for 2 years. That manufacturer coverage applies across the Elite Rehab configurations sold here.
