Wheelchair leg rests are a simple but essential item for many wheelchair users, since they offer extra support for legs and feet when sitting in the chair. The leg rests are simple to attach or detach, and they can be moved from one chair to the next so that you have them available. The standard legrests on the basic and lightweight wheelchairs offered by Spinlife are the swingaway or elevating leg rests, both suitable for the majority of users. The legrests that swing away are a great option for many as they can be elevated to a position that is comfortable and then lowered again for transfers in and out of the wheelchair. The leg rests that elevate are perfect for anyone who requires their legs to be elevated and are fitted with the calf pads.

Heavy User Wheelchair with Leg Rests that are elevated

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 support larger frame sizes. This model is ideal for those who have larger requirements. It features a seat up to 30 inches wide and the weight limit is 700lbs, a sturdy slide-tube silver vein steel frame and detachable feet plates that swing away.

Elevating legrests powered by electricity are a standard feature on a variety of wheelchairs. They allow the user to elevate their feet to a comfortable position for improved circulation and reduced swelling. This type of legrest can be lowered and raised in a single motion. Some models come with a calf cushion for extra comfort. This is particularly beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritic conditions because it allows the user to maintain an extended (knee straight) position.

The other type is an footrest that is articulating. It differs from a standard wheelchair legrest because it is adjustable to different 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 changes the distance between the knee and footplate when in different positions, which means that the footplate is larger when it is elevated than it is when it is lower.

Since they are typically powered, legrests with articulation do have an additional cost, and as such you will often be attached to a higher-end wheelchair. This is because of the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, such as an actuator and motor. These extra components increase the weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver through tight spaces.

There are two types of wheelchairs that come with elevating legrests such as swing away and center mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but it all comes down to personal preference and the requirements of the individual user. Swing away legrests can be put on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is situated outside the legrest. This is because it is easily knocked over by other people and items in the room.

self propelled wheelchairs are a safer choice because they are mounted in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be hit. They do not offer as many options for positioning, and may be a hindrance for certain users. It is crucial to talk to a medical professional about your options prior to choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to ensure that the correct legrest is selected to meet your needs.

Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated

Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are made to redistribute the pressure from the legs and prevent the formation of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for the lower limbs, and aid in maintaining stability and balance. The padded leg rests are typically placed at the front or rear of the wheelchair and are equipped with a range of adjustment features. Some leg rests have a swing-away feature that can make it easier for you to move from and into a wheelchair. Some also have the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to suit different lengths of legs.

There are many different kinds of leg rests for wheelchairs, and choosing the one that is right for you will depend on your medical health. Some leg rests have motors, while others are manual. Leg rests can also be adjusted to different angles, which could affect your sitting posture and mobility.

The decision between an elevating leg rest and an articulated leg rest will depend on your medical condition. Elevating leg rests remain at the same level and are therefore ideal 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 the best choice. They automatically adjust the length, so you don't have to adjust them manually.

If you're thinking of buying a wheelchair that has leg rests, we recommend that you try it out before you make a final decision. This will ensure you get the correct type of leg rest for your needs, and that it is compatible with the wheelchair you have selected. You should also talk to your therapist about the best wheelchair accessories for you.
