Wheelchair leg rests are a simple yet essential accessory for most wheelchair users, since they provide extra support to feet and legs whilst sitting in the chair. They are easy to attach and remove and can be moved between chairs, ensuring that you always have them should you require. Legrests are available in two different styles for the basic and light Spinlife wheelchairs: elevating or swing away legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users. Legrests that swing away can be adjusted to a comfortable height and then lowered for transfers to and from the wheelchair. Elevating leg rests can be used by anyone who requires their legs to be elevated. They are equipped with calf padding.

Heavy User Wheelchair Elevated Leg Rest

The design is specifically for wheelchair users with bariatric disabilities who require leg rests, the Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair with Leg Rests with Elevation provides an ultra-sturdy frame that can support larger frame dimensions. With a seat width of up to 30 inches, a weight capacity up to 700lbs, heavy-duty slide tube with silver vein steel frame and swing away foot plates that are detachable this wheelchair is perfect for those with larger needs.

Legrests that are powered elevating are a common feature found on a variety of wheelchairs. They let the user raise their feet to a more comfortable position to improve circulation and reduce swelling. This kind of legrest can be raised and lowered with one motion. Certain models come with the option of a calf-strap cushion for added comfort. This can be particularly helpful 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 type of legrest is known as an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it is able to be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it a great option for those who have trouble with the angle of their knee when raising or lowering the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be longer when it's elevated compared to when it's dropped.

Since they are typically powered, legrests that articulate do have an additional cost, and as such you will often find them attached to a higher-end wheelchair. This is due to the additional parts required to power this type of legrest, which includes 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 types of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests that can be lowered: swing away and center mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages, but it ultimately comes down to personal preference and the requirements of the individual user. Legrests with a swing can be placed on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However they are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is situated behind the legrest. This is because it is susceptible to being thrown 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 do not have as many options for positioning, and may be a hindrance for certain users. It is essential to speak to a medical professional about your options prior to choosing swing away or centrally mounted legrests so that you can be sure that the best legrest is selected to meet your requirements.

Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs self propelled with foot rests are crafted to redistribute the pressure from the legs and prevent the development pressure sores. They also help improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs, and aid in maintaining stability and balance. The padded legrests are typically fitted to the front or back of the wheelchair, and come with a variety of adjustments. Some leg rests come with the ability to swing away that makes it easier for users to transfer between and out of the wheelchair. Others feature an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to suit different leg lengths.

The type of leg rest that 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 to various angles, which may affect your sitting posture and mobility.

The decision between an elevating leg rest and an leg rest that is articulating will depend on your medical condition. Elevating leg rests remain at the same height and therefore are good for people who are unable to bend their legs. However, if you have the option of bending your legs, an articulated knee rest could be more appropriate. They automatically adjust the length, so you won't have to adjust them manually.

If you are planning on buying a wheelchair that has a leg rest, we recommend that you test it before deciding. This will ensure that you purchase the correct type of leg rest that meets your needs, and that it is compatible with the model of wheelchair you've selected. You should also consult your therapist about the best self propelled wheelchair wheelchair accessories for you.
