Wheelchair leg rests are a basic but essential item for many wheelchair users as they provide additional support for legs and feet while sitting in the chair. The leg rests are easy to attach or remove, and they can be moved from chair to chair so you always have them available. The most common legrests on the basic 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 choice for many as they can be raised to a level that is comfortable and reduced for transfers into and out of the wheelchair. The leg rests that elevate are suitable for anyone who requires their legs to be elevated and are fitted with calf pads. Heavy User Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest The design is specifically for wheelchair users with bariatrics who require leg rests, the Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair with Elevating Leg Rests provides an ultra-sturdy frame to accommodate those with larger frame sizes. This wheelchair is perfect for those with bigger requirements. It comes with an adjustable seat that is up to 30 inches wide with a weight limit of 700lbs, a heavy-duty slide-tube silver vein steel frame, and a swing-away feet plate that can be detached. Many wheelchairs come with powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise their feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models come with an extra calf pad for comfort, however the main benefit of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and then lowered in a single movement. transit wheelchair vs self propelled can be especially beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritic conditions as it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position. The other kind of legrest is referred to as an articulating legrest. It 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 flexure when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation works by changing the distance between the footplate and knee when in different locations, meaning that the footplate is larger when it is elevated compared to when it is lowered. Since they are typically powered, the legrests with articulation do have an additional cost, and as such you will often see them attached to a higher-end wheelchair. This is due to the additional components needed to power this type of legrest, which includes an actuator, motor and controls. The addition of these components adds to the overall weight of the wheelchair, making it more difficult to manoeuvre particularly in tight spaces. There are two kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages however it all is a matter of personal preference of the user and their needs. Legrests with a swing can be put on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However they are more prone to damage because the actuator is situated behind the legrest. This is because it can be easily knocked over by other users and objects 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 hit. They do not offer as many options for positioning and could be a barrier to certain users. If you decide to use the swing away or centre mount legrests, it is essential to discuss your options with a medical professional to ensure the right type of legrest is chosen for your particular needs. Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are crafted to help distribute pressure across the legs, and to prevent development pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs and aid in maintaining balance and stability. The cushioned leg rests are usually installed to the rear or front of the wheelchair and are equipped with a range of adjustment features. Some leg rests come with an option to swing away that can make it easier to move into and out of the wheelchair. Some also have a telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to suit different lengths of legs. The type of leg rest that you select will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Certain leg rests come with motors however others don't. Leg rests can also be adjusted to different angles, which could impact your sitting position and mobility. The choice between an elevated leg rest or an leg rest that is articulating will depend on your medical condition. Elevating leg rests stay at the same height and therefore are good for those who cannot bend their legs. If you do have the option to bend your legs, then an articulated knee rest could be better. They will automatically adjust the length, so you won't have to adjust them manually. We recommend that you test the wheelchair before making your decision. This will help you pick the right leg rest for you and ensure that it fits well with the wheelchair that you have chosen. You should also talk to your therapist regarding the best wheelchair accessories for you.
