Elevating legrests powered by electricity are a common feature found on many wheelchairs, and let the user elevate their feet to a more comfortable position to improve circulation and decrease swelling. This type of legrest can be adjusted and raised with one motion. Some models come with the option of a calf-strap cushion for added comfort. This can be especially beneficial for those who suffer from poor knee flexion or arthritic issues because it allows the user to maintain an extended (knee straight) position.
Another type is an articulated footrest. It differs from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it can be adjusted at various angles. This makes it an ideal choice for those who may be struggling with knee bend when lifting 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 larger when it's elevated, compared to when it's lowered.
The legrests with articulation are more expensive because they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is because of the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest such as motors, actuators and controls. Having these additional parts also adds weight to the overall weight of the wheelchair, making it more difficult to manoeuvre especially in tight spaces.
There are two kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests, swing away and centre mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages but it really is a matter of personal preference and the requirements of the individual user. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage since the actuator is located just outside the legrest. This is because it is susceptible to being thrown over by other users and items in the room.
Centre mount legrests are a safer alternative because they are attached to the center of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. They do not have as many options for positioning and could be a barrier to certain users. Whether you choose the swing away or centre mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a healthcare professional to ensure that the correct type of legrest is chosen to meet your needs.
Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated
Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are designed to redistribute pressure from the legs, helping to prevent the formation of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for the lower limbs as well as aid in maintaining stability and balance. The cushioned leg rests are usually installed to the front or rear of the wheelchair, and come with a variety of adjustable features. Some leg rests come with an option to swing away that can make it easier to move from and into the wheelchair. Some leg rests come with an adjustable, telescoping footplate that can be adapted to different leg lengths.
There are a number of different types of leg rests available for wheelchairs. Choosing the best one for you will depend on your medical condition. Some leg rests are motorized while others are manual. Leg rests can also be adjusted to different angles, which can alter your sitting position and mobility.
The decision between an elevating leg rest or an articulating leg rest will also depend on your medical conditions. Elevating legrests remain at the same height, and are good for those who can't bend their legs. If you do have the option to bend your legs then an articulated leg rest may be better. This is because they adjust in length automatically, so you don't have to adjust them manually.

This will ensure that you get the right leg rest to meet your needs and that it is compatible with the wheelchair you have selected.
