The standard choice of legrests on the basic and lightweight wheelchairs sold at Spinlife are the swingaway or elevating leg rests both suitable for most users.

A lot of wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and reduce swelling. The legrests can be raised and lowered with one motion. Some models come with the option of a calf-strap cushion for added comfort. This can be especially beneficial for those suffering from knee flexion or arthritic issues since it permits the user to remain in an extended (knee straight) position.

The other type of legrest is known as an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it can be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it a good option for people who experience issues 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, legrests with articulation do have an additional cost, and as such you will often find them attached to a higher-end wheelchair. This is due to the additional components required to power this type of legrest, including a motor and actuator. These extra parts make it heavier for 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 their advantages and disadvantages and it depends on the personal preference of the user and their needs. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage due to the fact that the actuator is situated outside the legrest. This is the place where it is easily knocked over by other users and objects in the room.

The centre mount legrests are safer since they are positioned in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be hit. They don't have as many options for positioning and can be a hindrance for certain users. If you opt for swing away or centre mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a healthcare professional to ensure the right type of legrest is selected for your particular requirements.

Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are designed to distribute pressure across the legs, which can help in preventing the development of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs, and help maintain stability and balance. The padding leg rests are generally installed to the rear or front of the wheelchair and are equipped with a variety of adjustable features. Some leg rests have an option to swing away that can make it easier to move into and out of the wheelchair. Certain leg rests feature a telescoping, adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to different leg lengths.



The type of leg rest that you select will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized, while others are manual. There are various angles that the leg rests are set at, which could affect your sitting position and how easy it is to move around.

Your medical condition may determine your decision. Elevating leg rests stay at the same level and are a good choice for those who cannot bend their legs. If you can bend your legs, an articulated legrest may be the best choice for you. They automatically adjust the length, so you won't have to adjust them manually.

We suggest that you test the wheelchair prior to making a decision. This will help you choose the right leg rest that is suitable for you and ensure that it is compatible well with the wheelchair you have chosen. You should also consult your therapist regarding the best wheelchair accessories for you.
