Powered elevating legrests are a standard feature on many wheelchairs, and let the user raise their feet to a more comfortable position for improved circulation and reduced swelling. This type of legrest can be lowered and raised with one motion. Certain models come with an extra calf cushion to provide comfort. This is particularly useful for those with weak knee flexion or arthritic condition as it permits them to keep a straight (extended) position.

Another type is an articulating footrest. It is different from a standard wheelchair legrest because it is adjustable at various angles. This makes it a good option for people who experience issues with the angle of their knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and the footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be larger when it's elevated compared to when it's lowered.

The articulating legrests are more expensive because they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is because of the additional components required to power this type of legrest such as an actuator, motor and controls. These additional components increase the weight of the wheelchair, making it more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces.

There are two kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests; swing away and centre mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but it ultimately comes down to your personal preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However they are more prone to damage since the actuator is located outside the legrest. This is the place where it is susceptible to being thrown over by other users and items in the room.

The centre mount legrests are safer as they are fixed in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be struck. They do not offer as many options for positioning, and may be a barrier to some users. It is essential to speak with a healthcare professional regarding your options before choosing swing away or centrally mounted legrests so that you can be sure that the correct legrest is selected for your requirements.

Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are made to distribute the pressure across the legs and avoid development of pressure sores. They can also help with increased circulation and comfort in the lower limbs, as well as helping to maintain balance and stability. The cushioned leg rests are usually fitted to the front or rear of the wheelchair and come with a range of adjustment features. Some leg rests include the ability to swing away, which can make it easier for users to get in and out of the wheelchair. Others feature an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to fit different leg lengths.

There are a number of different kinds of leg rests that are available for wheelchairs, and selecting the best self-propelled wheelchair one for you will depend on your medical situation. Some leg rests are motorized, while others are manual. There are also different angles that the leg rests are set at, which can affect your sitting posture and how easy it is to move around.

The decision between an elevating leg rest and an leg rest that is articulating will depend on your medical needs. Elevating leg rests are at the same height and therefore are good for those who are unable bend their legs. If you do have the option of bending your legs, an articulated leg rest may be better. They automatically adjust the length, so you won't need to adjust them manually.

We suggest that you test the wheelchair before making your decision. This will help you pick the right leg rest for your needs and ensure that it fits perfectly with the wheelchair you've selected. It is also advisable to consult with your therapist prior to selecting any accessories for your wheelchair, since they can advise you of the most suitable options for you.
