Many wheelchairs come with powered elevating legrests which allow the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable height to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models include an extra calf pad for comfort, however the main benefit of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and then lowered in a single movement. This is especially useful for those who have poor flexion of the knee or arthritis since it allows them to remain in a straight (extended) position.
The other type of legrest is called 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 have difficulty with the angle of the knee when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and footplate when it is in different positions, which means that the footplate is larger when it is elevated than it is when it is lowered.
As they are usually powered, the legrests with articulation do have an additional cost, and as such you will often be fitted to a more specialist wheelchair. This is because of the additional components needed to power this type of legrest such as a motor, actuator and controls. These additional components add to the weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver through tight spaces.
There are two types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests: swing away and center mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages but it really 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 to provide greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is located outside the legrest. This is because it can be easily knocked over by other users and items in the room.
Centre mount legrests are an additional safety feature since they are fixed to the center of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. They do not offer as many options for positioning and could be a hindrance for certain users. If you decide to use swing away or centre mount legrests, it is essential to discuss your options with a healthcare professional to ensure the right type of legrest is selected for your particular requirements.
