Legrests for wheelchairs are an essential accessory for wheelchair users. They offer extra support for the legs and feet while seated. Leg rests are simple to attach or remove and they can be moved from chair to chair so that you have them available. The standard legrests for the basic and lightweight wheelchairs sold at Spinlife are swing-away or elevating leg rests both of which are suitable for most users. The swingaway legrests are a fantastic choice for many because they can be elevated to a position that is comfortable and lowered again for transfers in and out of the wheelchair. Elevating leg rests can be used by anyone who requires their legs elevated. They are equipped with the padding for your calf.
Heavy User Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest

A lot of wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests which allow the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable height for better circulation and reduced 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 lowered in one movement. This is especially useful for those with poor flexion of the knee or arthritis as it permits them to keep an upright (extended) position.
The other type is an articulated footrest. It differs from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it is adjustable to different angles. This makes it a great option for those who struggle with knee bend when lowering or elevating 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 with articulation are more expensive since they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more customized. This is due to the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, which includes an actuator and motor. These extra components increase the weight of the wheelchair, making it more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.
There are two primary kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests, swing away and centre mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and it depends on the personal preference of the user and their needs. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However they are more susceptible to damage due to the fact that the actuator is situated outside the legrest. This is because it is susceptible to being thrown over by other people and items in the room.
The centre mount legrests are a safer choice because they are mounted in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be struck. They do not offer as many options for positioning and can be a problem for some users. It is crucial to talk to a healthcare professional about your options prior to deciding on swing away or centrally mounted legrests so that you can be sure that the right legrest is chosen for your requirements.
Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest
Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are designed to help distribute pressure between the legs, which helps in preventing the development of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs and aid in maintaining stability and balance. The padding leg rests are generally installed to the rear or front of the wheelchair, and come with a variety of adjustable features. Some leg rests come with an element that swings away, which can make it easier for patients to get in and out of the wheelchair. Others feature an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to suit different leg lengths.
The type of leg rest 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 can impact your sitting position and mobility.
The choice between an elevating leg rest and an articulated leg rest will depend on your medical conditions. Elevating leg rests are at the same height and are a good choice for those who cannot bend their legs. If you do have the option to bend your legs, an articulated leg rest may be better. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, meaning you don't need to adjust them manually.
If you're thinking of purchasing a wheelchair with a leg rest, we recommend that you try it out before making a final decision. This will ensure you get the right leg rest for your needs and that it will fit comfortably in the model of wheelchair you've selected. It is also advisable to consult your therapist before selecting any wheelchair accessories, since they will be able to advise you of the best choices for you.
