Many wheelchairs come with powered elevating legrests that allow the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models come with an extra calf pad for comfort, but the main benefit of this type of legrest is that it can be elevated and lowered in a single motion. This is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from poor knee flexion or arthritis as it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position.

The other is an articulated footrest. It is different from a standard wheelchair legrest because it is adjustable to different angles. This makes it an excellent option for people who experience trouble with the angle of the knee when raising or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and the footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be larger when it's elevated than when it's lowered.

The legrests with articulation are more expensive because they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is largely due to the extra components required to power this kind of legrest such as motors, actuators and controls. These extra parts make it heavier for the wheelchair, making it more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.

There are two kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests: swing away and center mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and it comes down to the individual preference of the user and their requirements. https://www.mymobilityscooters.uk/products/paldin-lightweight-folding-wheelchair-with-running-brakes with a swing can be put on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is located outside the legrest. This is the place where it is susceptible to being thrown over by other users and other objects in the room.

Centre mount legrests provide a safer alternative as they are fixed to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be impacted. However, they don't provide as many options for positioning and it is worth considering that the center mount can be a visual obstacle for some users. It is essential to speak with a healthcare professional regarding your options prior to deciding on swing away or centre mounted legrests to make sure that the correct legrest is selected for your needs.



Standard Wheelchair with Elevated leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are designed to redistribute the pressure from the legs and avoid development of pressure sores. They can also assist with improved circulation and comfort in the lower limbs, in addition to helping keep balance and stability. The padded legrests are typically fitted to the front or back of the wheelchair, and have a variety options for adjustment. Some leg rests come with an option to swing away that makes it easier to transfer into and out of the wheelchair. Some leg rests have an adjustable, telescoping footplate that can be adapted to different leg lengths.

The kind of leg rest you choose will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests have motors, while others are manual. There are different angles that the leg rests are set at, which can alter your sitting position as well as how easy it is to move around.

Your medical condition will also determine your decision. Legrests that are elevated remain at the same height and are therefore ideal for those who are unable to bend their legs. If you do have the option to bend your legs, then an articulated leg rest might be more appropriate. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, which means you don't have to constantly adjust them manually.

We recommend that you test the wheelchair prior to making a decision. This will help you select the best leg rest for you and ensure that it is compatible well with the wheelchair that you've selected. It is also advisable to speak with your therapist before selecting any wheelchair accessories, since they can advise you of the best options for you.
