The leg rests are simple to attach or detach, and they can be moved from chair to chair so you always have them available. The standard choice of legrests for the basic and lightweight wheelchairs available at Spinlife are swing-away or elevating leg rests, both suitable for most users. The swingaway legrests are a great option for many because they can be elevated to a height that is comfortable, and then lowered again for transfers in and out of the wheelchair.

Many wheelchairs come with powered elevating legrests which allow the user to raise their feet to a comfortable height for better circulation and less swelling. Some models include an calf pad to provide comfort, but the main advantage of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and then lowered in a single movement. This is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from poor knee flexion or arthritic issues because it allows the user to maintain an extended (knee straight) position.

The other kind of legrest is called an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it can be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it a great option for people who experience trouble with the angle of their knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be larger when it's elevated, compared to when it's dropped.

The legrests that articulate are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more customized. This is largely due to the additional components required to power this kind of legrest including a motor, actuator and controls. Having these additional parts also adds weight to the overall weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver especially 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 all depends on your personal preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests that are swivelling away have the advantage that they can be positioned at either side of the chair to provide more freedom of movement, but can be more vulnerable to damage because the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest, where it is easily knocked over by other users or objects within the room.

The centre mount legrests are a safer choice as they are fixed in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be struck. They do not offer as many options for positioning and could be a problem for certain users. If you opt for to swing away or center mount legrests it is important to discuss your options with a medical professional to ensure that the correct type of legrest is chosen for your particular needs.

Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are made to help distribute pressure across the legs and prevent the formation of pressure sores. They also help improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs, and aid in maintaining stability and balance. The padded leg rests are typically installed to the rear or front of the wheelchair and come with a variety of adjustment features. Some leg rests come with the ability to swing away, which can make it easier for you to move into and out of the wheelchair. Some leg rests have a telescoping, adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to different leg lengths.

The kind of leg rest 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 different angles, which could alter your sitting position and mobility.

The choice between an elevated leg rest or an articulating leg rest will also depend on your medical condition. Elevating legrests remain at the same height and are therefore good for those who can't bend their legs. However, if you do have the option of bending your legs, an articulated leg rest may be more appropriate. They will automatically adjust the length, so you don't have to adjust them manually.

We recommend you try the wheelchair prior to making a decision. This will help you to select the best leg rest for your needs and ensure that it will work perfectly with the wheelchair you've chosen. You should also talk to your therapist on the most appropriate wheelchair accessories for you.
