Powered elevating legrests are a common feature found on many wheelchairs, and enable the user to raise their feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models come with an calf pad to provide comfort, but the primary advantage of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and lowered in one movement. This can be especially beneficial for those suffering from knee flexion or arthritic conditions as it allows the user to remain in an extended (knee straight) position.

The other is an articulated footrest. It is different from a standard wheelchair legrest because it can be adjusted to different angles. This makes it a great option for those who have difficulty with the angle of their knee when raising or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and the footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be longer when it's elevated than when it's lower.

As they are usually powered, articulating legrests do come with an additional cost and as such, you'll often find them fitted to a more specialist wheelchair. This is because of the additional components needed to power this type legrest, including an actuator and motor. These extra parts add to the weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.

There are two kinds of wheelchairs with elevating legrests such as swing away and center mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages but it really comes down to individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Swing away legrests can be put on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage since the actuator is situated just outside the legrest. This is because it is easily knocked over by other people and items in the room.

The centre mount legrests are safer because they are mounted in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be hit. They do not have as many options for positioning and can be a problem for some users. It is important to talk with a healthcare professional regarding your options prior to choosing swing away or centrally mounted legrests so that you can be sure that the right legrest is selected for your requirements.

Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are made to help distribute pressure between the legs, which helps in preventing the development of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs as well as help maintain stability and balance. The padded legrests are typically fitted to the front or back of the wheelchair, and come with a variety of adjustment features. Some leg rests have a swing-away feature that makes it easier to move from and into a wheelchair. Some have the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to suit different leg lengths.

The kind of leg rest you choose will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized, while others do not. There are different angles that the leg rests are set at, which could affect your sitting position and how easy it is to move around.

The choice between an elevating leg rest or an articulated leg rest will depend on your medical conditions. Elevating leg rests are at the same level and are a good choice for those who cannot bend their legs. However, if you have the option to bend your legs then an articulated leg rest may be better. They automatically adjust the length, meaning you won't have to adjust them manually.

We recommend that you test the wheelchair before making the decision. This will help you to select the best 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.
