Indications

For whom BRO is suitable.

Scewo wheelchairs are specifically designed for people who have lost the ability to walk or climb stairs, or who are living with a progressive condition and want to remain as independent as possible in everyday life. Depending on the level of mobility and individual needs, either a Scewo GO or Scewo BRO may be prescribed.

Thanks to their wide range of adjustment options, both models can provide a suitable mobility solution for the following indications:

  • Spinal cord injury with tetraplegia or paraplegia
  • Stroke with hemiplegia
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Muscular dystrophies
  • General weakness of the leg or respiratory muscles, for example as a result of aging or similar conditions

In a nutshell.

The key facts about our electric wheelchairs.

Scewo BRO is a self-balancing, stair-climbing electric wheelchair that can be controlled with a one-handed joystick without requiring trunk stability. Thanks to its two large wheels, it provides safe and agile mobility across a variety of surfaces.

Dynamic driving, combined with automatic seat tilt, may promote circulation, while the resulting movement may help prevent the development of pressure ulcers. Pressure points can also be specifically relieved through seat adjustments. More information about the seating options can be found in the “Customizability” section.

Scewo GO is a six-wheel electric wheelchair that offers a classic driving experience. The stair climber is available as an option and can be retrofitted later if needed. This allows GO to adapt flexibly to changing mobility needs.

The dynamic seat tilt, biomechanical backrest, and automatic length compensation support an ergonomic and individually adjustable seating position. Here too, pressure points can be specifically relieved through the various seat adjustments. More information about the seating options can be found in the “Customizability” section.

The vertical seat adjustment allows users to independently adapt their seating height to their surroundings and interact at eye level.

Eye-level lift (max. 90 cm)

The lift supports communication at eye level and active participation in both social and professional situations. The elevated position also makes it easier to reach higher work and storage surfaces. This allows users to manage everyday situations and tasks more independently and with less assistance.

Seat lift to transfer height (min. 44 cm)

The lowered seating position supports safe transfers to lower surfaces such as a bed or sofa. It also makes it easier to approach low tables comfortably, supporting more ergonomic use in everyday life.

BRO and GO can be adapted to individual needs. The backrest and footrest can be adjusted automatically, while the headrest, armrests, and other components can also be easily adjusted. Both models can also be supplemented with Scewo or third-party products such as seating systems or controls.

Scewo wheelchairs are controlled using a standard hand joystick. Depending on the user’s needs, the joystick can be fitted with alternative joystick attachments from Scewo or third-party providers. Thanks to adjustable sensitivity settings, very little finger strength is required for operation.

Both Scewo BRO and Scewo GO are operated via an integrated control console. BRO can also be controlled using the specially developed BRO app on a smartphone.

The foldable backrest makes it easier to load BRO and GO into many standard passenger cars. Using a standard gaming controller as a remote control, both wheelchairs can be conveniently maneuvered from outside the vehicle via ramps.

Both models can also be used as passenger seats in a vehicle. This allows users to independently drive into an accessible taxi via a ramp and remain seated in their wheelchair during transport.

Features such as the standing assist and Relax Position can support therapeutic exercises in everyday life, for example as part of contracture prevention or sit-to-stand training. This can enable certain exercises to be carried out more independently, leaving more time during physical or occupational therapy sessions to focus on additional therapy goals.

BRO and GO support independent participation in everyday life. Features such as height adjustment mode and stair mode enable users to communicate at eye level, overcome everyday barriers such as stairs, steps, and thresholds without assistance, and independently reach objects positioned higher up or lower down.

People with a range of different conditions use our electric wheelchairs in everyday life. Here you can discover a selection of customer experiences.

  • Felix M.

    Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.

    Due to his disability, Felix was no longer able to participate actively in everyday life. He was also unable to support his wife with daily tasks. Since getting BRO, Felix and his wife have experienced a noticeable improvement in their relationship, and his dependence on her assistance has decreased significantly. This has had a positive impact on their life together and on both of their overall satisfaction.

  • Phil E.

    Cerebral palsy.

    Being able to attend university independently is essential for Phil. BRO not only enables him to travel to and from university, but also gives him the opportunity to take part in conversations at eye level. Due to his disability, the electric adjustment of the footrests and backrest is also especially important, as it allows him to relieve pressure on different areas of the body.

  • Dagmar B.

    Multiple sclerosis.

    As a teacher, Dagmar spends a large part of her working day in BRO, making comfortable seating especially important. The cushion tailored to her needs, together with the mechanical and electric adjustment options, helps make BRO a comfortable seat. The swiveling interface, foldable footrests, and transfer position also make it easier for her to transfer onto a chair or the sofa at home.

  • José F.

    Tetraplegia.

    Due to his spinal cord injury, José has very limited finger strength. Being able to control his wheelchair easily using a joystick and touchpad is therefore an ideal solution for him. BRO meets these requirements and also enables the businessman to manage his everyday life more independently.

  • Michael H.

    Muscular dystrophy

    Getting up from a bed or chair is difficult for Michael without assistance. He therefore particularly values BRO’s integrated standing assist. The remote control also makes it easier for him to load the electric wheelchair into a vehicle, so he can take it with him wherever he goes. This reduces the amount of planning required before an outing, while BRO also helps him overcome barriers at work with greater ease.
