Powered elevating legrests are a standard feature on a lot of wheelchairs. They let the user elevate their feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and decrease swelling. This type of legrest can be lowered and raised by a single movement. Certain models come with the option of a calf-strap cushion for added comfort. This is especially useful for those who have poor knee flexion or arthritic condition as it allows them to maintain a straight (extended) position.

The other is an footrest that is articulating. It is different from a standard wheelchair legrest because it can be adjusted at different angles. This makes it a good option for people who experience difficulty with the angle of their knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be wider when it's elevated, compared to when it's dropped.

The legrests that articulate are more expensive since they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is due to the additional parts needed to power this kind of legrest, such as an actuator and motor. These extra components add to the weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.

There are two main types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages but it really depends on your personal preference and the needs of the individual user. Swing away legrests offer the advantage that they can be positioned on either side of the chair to provide more freedom of movement, but can be more prone to damage since the actuator is located on the outside of the legrest, where it is easily smashed by other people or objects within the room.

The centre mount legrests are a safer option because they are mounted in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be hit. However, they don't provide as many options for positioning and it is worth mentioning that the centre mount could be a visual obstruction for certain users. Whether you choose to swing away or center mount legrests it is important to discuss your options with a healthcare expert to ensure that the right type of legrest is selected for your particular needs.

Some leg rests have an element that swings away that makes it easier for people to get between and out of the wheelchair. Some also have an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to accommodate different leg lengths.
