Many wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that allow the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable height for better circulation and less swelling. Some models include a calf pad for added comfort, but the primary benefit of this kind of legrest is that it can be elevated and then lowered in a single movement. This is particularly beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritic issues because it allows the user to remain in an extended (knee straight) position.

The other type is an footrest that is articulating. It is different from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it can be adjusted at various angles. This makes it an ideal choice for those who may be struggling with knee flexure angle when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation works by changing the distance between the footplate and knee in various locations, meaning that the footplate is larger when it is elevated than it is lowered.

The legrests that articulate are more expensive because they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is due to the extra components needed to power this type of legrest, which includes motors, actuators and controls. These extra components make it heavier for the wheelchair, making it harder to maneuver in tight spaces.

There are two kinds of wheelchairs with elevating legrests such as swing away and center mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but it ultimately depends on personal preference and the requirements of the individual user. Legrests that are swivelling away have the advantage that they can be positioned at either side of the chair to allow greater mobility, however they are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is located on the outside of the legrest where it is easily smashed by other users or by items in the room.

Centre mount legrests offer an alternative that is safer because they are attached to the central section of the wheelchair and are less likely to be affected. They do not offer as many options for positioning, and may be a problem for some users. It is crucial to talk to a healthcare professional about your options prior to deciding on swing away or centre mounted legrests to ensure that the correct legrest is selected for your needs.

Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are crafted to redistribute the pressure from the legs, and to prevent formation of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for the lower limbs and aid in maintaining balance and stability. The padded legrests are usually installed on the front or back of the wheelchair, and come with a variety of adjustment features. Some leg rests include a swing-away component that makes it easier for users to transfer into and out of the wheelchair. Some leg rests have a telescoping, adjustable footplate that can be adapted to different leg lengths.

There are many different types of leg rests available for wheelchairs, and selecting the one that is right for you will depend on your medical health. Some leg rests are motorized, while others are manual. Leg rests can also be adjusted at different angles, which could impact your sitting position and mobility.

The choice between an elevating leg rest and an leg rest that is articulating will depend on your medical conditions. Elevating leg rests remain at the same elevation and are a good choice for people who are unable to bend their legs. If you are able bend your legs, an articulated legrest may be a better choice. They automatically adjust the length, meaning you don't have to adjust them manually.

We recommend that you test the wheelchair prior to making your decision. This will allow you to pick the right leg rest for you and ensure that it fits well with the wheelchair that you've selected. You should also consult your therapist regarding the best wheelchair accessories for you.
