Legrests come in two styles on basic and light Spinlife wheelchairs: elevating or swing away legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users.

Many wheelchairs come with powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable height to improve circulation and reduce swelling. The legrests can be raised and lowered in a single motion. Certain models come with a calf cushion for extra comfort. This is particularly beneficial for those with weak flexion of the knee or arthritic condition as it allows them to maintain a straight (extended) position. The other kind of legrest is known as an articulating or articulating legrest. It differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it can be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it a great choice for those who may have difficulty with the knee flexure angle when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and the footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be larger when it's elevated than when it's dropped. The legrests that articulate are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is because of the additional components needed to power this type of legrest including a motor, actuator and controls. The addition of these components adds weight to the overall weight of the wheelchair making it harder to maneuver especially in tight spaces. There are two primary kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests, swing away and centre mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but it comes down to the personal preference of the user and their requirements. Legrests that swing away are advantageous because they can be positioned on either side of the chair to allow more freedom of movement, but are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest, where it is easily smashed by other people or objects within the room. Centre mount legrests offer an alternative that is safer since they are fixed to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. However, they do not provide as many positions and it is worth mentioning that the centre mount could be a visual obstacle for certain users. self propelled wheelchair with power assist mymobilityscooters is essential to speak with a healthcare professional regarding your options prior to choosing swing away or centrally mounted legrests so that you can be sure that the correct legrest is selected for your needs. Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are crafted to distribute the pressure across the legs and avoid formation of pressure sores. They can also assist with increased circulation and comfort in the lower limbs as well as helping to maintain balance and stability. The padded legrests are usually installed on the back or front of the wheelchair and come with a variety of adjustment features. Some leg rests have the ability to swing away, which makes it easier to move into and out of a wheelchair. Some leg rests have an adjustable footplate that is telescoping that can be adjusted to different leg lengths. The type of leg rest that you choose will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests have motors and others don't. Leg rests can also be adjusted to various angles, which may alter your sitting position and mobility.
