Wheelchair leg rests are an easy but essential item for many wheelchair users as they provide extra support to feet and legs whilst seated in the chair. They are easy to attach and detach, and can be moved around between chairs so that you can always have access to them when you need. Legrests come in two different styles for basic and light Spinlife wheelchairs either with swingaway or elevating legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users. The legrests that swing away are a great option for many because they can be raised to a height that is comfortable, and then reduced for transfers into and out of the wheelchair. Elevating leg rests are a great option for anyone who requires their legs to be elevated. They come with cushioning for the calf.

It has the capacity of a seat that is 30 inches wide, the weight limit is 700lbs, a sturdy slide-tube silver vein steel frame, and a swing-away feet plate that can be detached.
Powered elevating legrests are a standard feature on many wheelchairs, and allow the user to elevate their feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and decrease swelling. This type of legrest can be raised and lowered with one motion. Certain models come with an extra calf cushion to provide comfort. This is especially useful for those with poor knee flexion or arthritis since it allows them to maintain an upright (extended) position.
The other type of legrest is referred to as an articulating legrest and differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it can be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it a good option for those who have trouble with the angle of the knee when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate when it is in different positions, meaning that the footplate will be longer when it is elevated compared to when it is when it is lower.
The legrests with articulation are more expensive because they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is because of the additional components required to power this type of legrest such as an actuator, motor and controls. These additional components make it heavier for the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.
There are two kinds of wheelchairs with elevating legrests that can be lowered: swing away and center mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages, but it ultimately depends on individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests with a swing can be put on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more susceptible to damage since the actuator is located behind the legrest. This is the place where it is easily knocked over by other people and other objects in the room.
Centre mount legrests offer a safer alternative because they are attached to the central section of the wheelchair and are less likely to be impacted. However, they don't provide as many positions and it is worth considering that the centre mount may be a visible barrier for some users. It is essential to speak with a healthcare professional regarding your options before choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to ensure that the correct legrest is selected for your needs.
Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest
Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are crafted to redistribute the pressure from the legs and avoid formation of pressure sores. They also help improve circulation and comfort for the lower limbs, and aid in maintaining stability and balance. The padded legrests are typically installed on the back or front of the wheelchair, and include a range of adjustments. Some leg rests have a swing-away component, which can make it easier for patients to get in and out of the wheelchair. Others feature an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to suit different leg lengths.
There are a number of different types of leg rests available for wheelchairs, and choosing the best one for you will depend on your medical situation. Some leg rests are motorized, while others are manual. Leg rests can also be adjusted to different angles, which could impact your sitting position and mobility.
Your medical condition may influence your choice. Elevating leg rests remain at the same height and therefore are good for those who cannot bend their legs. If you are able bend your legs, an articulated legrest may be better for you. This is because they adjust in length automatically, so you don't need to keep adjusting them manually.
We recommend that you test the wheelchair prior to making the decision. This will allow you to select the best leg rest that is suitable for you and ensure that it will work perfectly with the wheelchair you have chosen. It is also advisable to speak with your therapist prior to selecting any accessories for your wheelchair, since they can advise you of the most suitable choices for you.
