Medical - Other / rehabilitation
Swedish term or phrase: HD-stol
While I realise that an "HD-stol" is used in rehabilitation, I was wondering what the HD stood for. I've seen a picture of such on Google and the company is called "HD Rehab" so is the HD just part of the company name or does it stand for words relating to specific treatment/rehab?
TIA asap

chair from HD


Explanation:
I suggest you write something like this. HD is the company name but in EN HD can mean something else (high definition etc) so it needs to be explained a little unless the company name is mentioned in the rest of your text..
Here, HD= Hantverksdesign

Example sentence(s):
  • Hantverksdesign & Rehabiliteringsprodukter AB (HD Rehab) is a family owned company, located in Lidingö, Sweden.
