A lot of wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that allow the user to raise their feet to a comfortable height to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models have an calf pad to provide comfort, however the main advantage of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and then lowered in a single movement. This is particularly beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritis since it allows them to remain in a straight (extended) position.

The other type of legrest is known as an articulating or articulating legrest. It differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it can be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it a great option for those who struggle with knee flexure when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be longer when it's elevated, compared to when it's lowered.

Because they are powered, the legrests that articulate do have an additional cost, and as such, you'll often see them fitted to a more specialist wheelchair. This is because of the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest including motors, actuators and controls. The addition of these components adds to the overall weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver 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 and it depends on the personal preference of the user and their needs. Swing away legrests can be put on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage due to the fact that the actuator is situated just outside the legrest. This is because it is easily knocked over by other users and objects 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 struck. They don't have as many options for positioning and can be a barrier to some users. If you opt for the swing away or centre mount legrests, it is essential to discuss your options with a healthcare professional to ensure the right kind of legrest is chosen for your particular needs.

Standard Wheelchair with Elevated leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are designed to distribute pressure across the legs, which helps prevent the development of pressure sores. They also aid in better circulation and comfort in the lower limbs, in addition to helping maintain stability and balance. The padded legrests are typically placed on the back or front of the wheelchair, and have a variety adjustment features. Some leg rests come with a swing-away component which makes it easier for users to get between and out of the wheelchair. Some also have an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to fit different lengths of legs.

The type of leg rest you choose will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized, while others are manual. Leg rests can also be adjusted at different angles, which could alter your sitting position and mobility.

Your medical condition will also determine your decision. Elevating leg rests remain at the same level and are a good choice for people who are unable to bend their legs. However, if you do have the option of bending your legs, then an articulated leg rest might be the best choice. This is because they will adjust their length automatically, which means you don't have to constantly adjust them manually.

If you are planning on purchasing a wheelchair with a leg rest, we recommend to test it before deciding. This will allow you to pick the right leg rest for you and ensure that it fits well with the wheelchair that you've chosen. You should also consult your therapist about the best wheelchair accessories for you.
