Many wheelchairs come with powered elevating legrests that allow the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable level for better circulation and less swelling. Some models have an calf pad to provide comfort, but the primary benefit of this kind of legrest is that it can be raised and lowered in one movement. This is particularly beneficial for those suffering from knee flexion or arthritic conditions because it allows the user to maintain an extended (knee straight) position.

The other type of legrest is called an articulating legrest and differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it is able to be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it a good option for people who experience trouble with the angle of the knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the footplate and knee in various positions, meaning that the footplate is larger when it is elevated than it what is self propelled wheelchair (published on Gpsites) when it is lower.

The legrests with articulation are more expensive because they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is due to the additional components required to power this type of legrest, such as a motor and actuator. These additional components 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 centre mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but it ultimately comes down to individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests with a swing can be put 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 the place where it is susceptible to being thrown over by other people and objects in the room.

The centre mount legrests are a safer choice as they are fixed in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be struck. However, they don't provide as many positions and it is worth considering that the center mount can be a visual barrier for certain users. Whether you choose to swing away or center mount legrests it is important to discuss your options with a medical expert to ensure that the right kind of legrest is chosen to meet your needs.

Some leg rests come with an option to swing away that can make it easier to transfer into and out of the wheelchair. Some have an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to accommodate different leg lengths.
