Wheelchair leg rests are an easy but vital accessory for the majority of wheelchair users as they provide extra support to legs and feet when sitting in the chair. They are simple to attach and detach and can be moved between different chairs to ensure that you always have access to them if required. The most common legrests for the basic and lightweight self propelling wheelchair wheelchairs offered by Spinlife are swing-away or elevating leg rests, both of which are suitable for the majority of users. Legrests that swing away can be adjusted to a comfortable position and then lowered to facilitate transfers to and from the wheelchair. The leg rests that elevate are ideal for those who needs their legs to be elevated and are fitted with the calf pads.

Heavy User Wheelchair Elevated Leg Rest

The Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair With Elevating Legrests is designed for those with bariatric issues who require leg rests. It features an extremely sturdy frame that can accommodate larger frames. This wheelchair is ideal for those who have larger needs. It has a seat up to 30 inches wide and it has a weight limit of 700lbs, a durable slide-tube silver vein steel frame and a swing-away feet plate that can be detached.

A lot of wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests which allow the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable level for better circulation and less swelling. Some models come with a calf pad for added 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 particularly beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritic issues since it permits the user to maintain an extended (knee straight) position.

The other kind of legrest is known as an articulating legrest and differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it can be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it a great choice for those who may struggle with knee bend 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 when it is when it is lowered.

The articulating legrests are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is because of the additional components needed to power this type of legrest including a motor, actuator and controls. The addition of these components adds weight to the overall weight of the wheelchair making it difficult to maneuver especially in tight spaces.

There are two types of wheelchairs that come with elevating legrests that can be lowered: swing away and center mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages and it comes down to the individual preference of the user and their requirements. Legrests that are swivelling away offer the advantage that they can be positioned on either side of the chair to allow more freedom of movement, but can be more prone to damage because 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 as they are fixed in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be hit. However, they do not provide as many positions and it is worth mentioning that the centre mount may be a visible obstacle for certain users. If you decide to use to swing away or center mount legrests, it is essential to discuss your options with a healthcare professional to ensure that the correct type of legrest is chosen for your specific requirements.

Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs self propelled with leg rests are designed to redistribute pressure from the legs, which can help in preventing the development of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs as well as aid in maintaining stability and balance. The padding leg rests are generally installed to the front or rear of the wheelchair and are equipped with a variety of adjustable features. Some leg rests include the ability to swing away which makes it easier for people to move between and out of the wheelchair. Some have a telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to accommodate different leg lengths.

The type of leg rest that you select will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Certain leg rests come with motors and others don't. Leg rests can also be adjusted to different angles, which can alter your sitting position and lightweight self folding mobility scooters.

Your medical condition will also determine your decision. Elevating leg rests are at the same elevation and are a good choice for those who are unable bend their legs. However, if you do have the option of bending your legs then an articulated leg rest may be more appropriate. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, which means you don't have to adjust them manually.

If you're planning on purchasing a wheelchair with a leg rest, we recommend to test it before deciding. This will ensure you get the correct type of leg rest for your needs and that it is compatible with the transit wheelchair vs self propelled you've chosen.
