Many 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 kind of legrest is that it can be elevated and lowered in one movement. This is especially useful for those with poor knee flexion or arthritis as it allows them to remain in an upright (extended) position. The other type is an articulated footrest. It differs from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it can be adjusted at various angles. This makes it an ideal choice for those who may be struggling with knee bend when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be longer when it's elevated than when it's lowered. The legrests that articulate are more expensive because they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is due to the additional components required to power this kind of legrest such as an actuator, motor and controls. These additional components make it heavier for the wheelchair, making it more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces. There are two primary types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but it ultimately depends on individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests that are swivelling away are advantageous because they can be positioned on either side of the chair to provide greater freedom of movement but can be more vulnerable to damage as the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest, where it is easily knocked by other people or objects within 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 hit. They do not have as many options for positioning and can be a problem for some users. It is important to talk to a healthcare professional about your options prior to deciding on swing away or centre mounted legrests to make sure that the correct legrest is selected to meet your requirements. Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are crafted to distribute the pressure across the legs and prevent the development of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs, and aid in maintaining balance and stability. The padding leg rests are generally placed at the front or rear of the wheelchair and are equipped with a variety of adjustable features. Some leg rests come with a swing-away feature that can make it easier to transfer into and out of the wheelchair. Some leg rests have an adjustable footplate that is telescoping that can be adjusted to different leg lengths. The kind 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 to various angles, which may affect your sitting posture and mobility. The choice between an elevating leg rest and an articulating leg rest will also depend on your medical condition. Elevating leg rests are at the same height 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 might be better. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, which means you don't need to adjust them manually.
