Wheelchair legrests are a vital accessory for wheelchair users. They provide additional support for legs and feet while seated. The leg rests are simple to attach or detach, and they can be moved from one chair to the next to ensure that they are always available. The standard choice of legrests on the basic and lightweight wheelchairs offered by Spinlife are swing-away or elevating leg rests, both suitable for the majority of users. Swingaway legrests can be adjusted to a comfortable level and then lowered for transfers into and out of the wheelchair.

Heavy User Wheelchair Elevated Leg Rest
The Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair With Legrests that Elevate is designed for bariatric patients who require leg rests. It is built with an extremely sturdy frame that can accommodate larger frames. With the seat width of up 30 inches, a weight capacity up to 700lbs, heavy-duty slide tube silver vein steel frame, and swing away foot plates that are detachable this wheelchair is ideal for those with larger needs.
Legrests that are powered elevating are a common feature found on a lot of wheelchairs. They let the user raise their feet to a comfortable position to improve circulation and decrease swelling. This kind of legrest can be raised and lowered in a single motion. Some models come with an extra calf cushion to provide comfort. This is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from poor knee flexion or arthritic issues as it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position.
The other kind of legrest is known as an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it is able to be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it an ideal choice for those who may be struggling with knee flexure when lowering or elevating 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, legrests with articulation do have an additional cost, and as such you will often see them installed on a more specialized wheelchair. This is due to the additional components needed to power this type legrest, including an actuator and motor. The addition of these components adds to the overall weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver particularly in tight spaces.
There are two kinds of wheelchairs that come with elevating legrests that can be lowered: swing away and center mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages but it really comes down to personal preference and the requirements of the individual user. Legrests that swing away can be put on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is located just outside the legrest. This is where it can be easily knocked over by other people and other objects in the room.
Centre mount legrests are an additional safety feature because they are attached to the central section of the wheelchair and are less likely to be affected. However, they do not provide as many options for positioning and it is worth considering that the center mount can be a visual obstacle for certain users. Whether you choose the swing away or centre mount legrests it is important to discuss your options with a medical expert to ensure that the right type of legrest is chosen for your specific needs.
Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated
Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are crafted to help distribute pressure across the legs, and to prevent development of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for the lower limbs, and aid in maintaining balance and stability. The padded legrests are generally installed on the front or back of the wheelchair, and come with a variety of adjustments. Some leg rests include a swing-away component which makes it easier for patients to get into and out of the wheelchair. Others feature the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to fit different leg lengths.
There are a number of different kinds of leg rests that are available for wheelchairs. Choosing the one that is right for you will depend on your medical condition. Some leg rests have motors, while others are manual. There are also different angles that the leg rests can be set at, which can alter your sitting position as well as how it is easy to move around.
The choice between an elevated leg rest and an articulated leg rest will depend on your medical needs. Elevating leg rests remain at the same elevation and are a good choice for those who are unable bend their legs. If you are able bend your legs, an articulated legrest may be the best choice for you. lightweight self propelled wheelchairs adjust the length, meaning you don't have to adjust them manually.
We recommend that you test the wheelchair prior to making your decision. This will allow you to select the best leg rest for your needs and ensure that it fits perfectly with the wheelchair you've selected. You should also talk to your therapist about the best wheelchair accessories for you.
