Wheelchair leg rests are an easy but essential item for many wheelchair users, since they provide extra support to the legs and feet when sitting in the chair. Leg rests are simple to attach or remove, and they can be moved from chair to chair so that you have them available. Legrests come in two different styles for the basic and light Spinlife wheelchairs either with swingaway or elevating legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users.

Powered elevating legrests are a standard feature on many wheelchairs, and allow the user to raise their feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and reduce swelling. The legrests 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 suffering from knee flexion or arthritic issues because it allows the user to remain in an extended (knee straight) position.

The other kind of legrest is known as an articulating legrest and differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it is able to be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it an ideal option for those who struggle with knee bend when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and the footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be larger when it's elevated compared to when it's dropped.

Since they are typically powered, the legrests with articulation do have an additional cost and as such you will often see them installed on a more specialized wheelchair. This is largely because of the additional components needed to power this type of legrest, which includes a motor, actuator and controls. Having these additional parts also adds to the overall weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver particularly in tight spaces.

There are two primary kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests; swing away and centre mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages, but it all comes down to individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more susceptible to damage due to the fact that the actuator is situated just outside the legrest. This is because it can be easily knocked over by other people and other objects in 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 struck. They do not have as many options for positioning and could be a problem for certain users. If you decide to use swing away or centre mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a medical expert to ensure that the right type of legrest is selected to meet your needs.

Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated

Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are made to redistribute pressure from the legs, which can help prevent the development of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs and help maintain stability and balance. The padded legrests are typically fitted to the back or front of the wheelchair, and come with a variety of options for adjustment. Some leg rests include the ability to swing away, which can make it easier for users to get into and out of the wheelchair. Others feature a telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to fit different leg lengths.

The type of leg rest that you pick will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized while others are manual. Leg rests can also be adjusted at different angles, which could impact your sitting position and mobility.

The choice between an elevated leg rest or an articulated leg rest will depend on your medical needs. Elevating legrests are at the same height, and are suitable for those who cannot bend their legs.
