Wheelchair legrests are an essential accessory for wheelchair users. They provide extra support for the feet and legs while sitting. The leg rests are easy to attach or detach, and they can be moved from one chair to another so that you have them available. The standard legrests on the basic best lightweight self propelled wheelchair wheelchairs sold at Spinlife are swing-away or elevating leg rests both of which are suitable for most users. The legrests that swing away are a great choice for many as they can be elevated to a height that is comfortable and then reduced for transfers into and out of the wheelchair. The elevating leg rests are ideal for those who needs their legs to be elevated and come complete with Calf pads.

Heavy User Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated

Many wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that allow the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models include an extra calf pad for comfort, but the main benefit of this type of legrest is that it can be elevated and then lowered in a single movement. This can be particularly helpful for those with poor knee flexion or arthritic issues because it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position.

The other kind of legrest is known as an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it is able to be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it a great choice for those who may have difficulty with the knee flexure angle when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be wider when it's elevated, compared to when it's dropped.

Because they are powered, the articulating legrests do come with an additional cost, and consequently, you'll be installed on a more specialized wheelchair. This is largely due to the additional components required to power this kind of legrest including an actuator, motor and controls. Having these additional parts also adds weight to the overall weight of the wheelchair making it difficult to maneuver particularly in tight spaces.

There are two primary kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests; swing away and centre mount. Both have pros and cons, but it is a matter of individual preference of the user and their requirements. Swing away legrests can be placed on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However they are more prone to damage because the actuator is situated just outside the legrest. This is the place where it can be easily knocked over by other users and objects in the room.

Centre mount legrests offer an additional safety feature because they are attached to the center of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. However, they do not provide as many options for positioning and it is worth considering that the centre mount could be a visual obstruction for some users. If you decide to use swing away or centre mount legrests it is important to discuss your options with a medical professional to ensure the right type of legrest is selected for your particular requirements.

Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs self propelled with foot rests are crafted to redistribute the pressure from the legs, and to prevent development pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs as well as aid in maintaining balance and stability. The padding leg rests are generally fitted to the front or rear of the wheelchair and come with a range of adjustment features. Some leg rests have an option to swing away that can make it easier to transfer into and out of a wheelchair. Some leg rests have an adjustable, telescoping footplate that can be adjusted to different leg lengths.

There are a number of different types of leg rests available for wheelchairs, and selecting the one that is right for you will depend on your medical health. Some leg rests are motorized, while others are manual. There are various angles that the leg rests are set at, which can affect your sitting posture and how easy it is to move around.

Your medical condition can influence your choice. Elevating legrests are at the same height and are suitable for those who cannot bend their legs. However, if you do have the option to bend your legs, an articulated leg rest might be better. This is because they adjust in length automatically, which means you don't need to constantly adjust them manually.

We recommend that you test the lightest self propelled wheelchair before making your decision. This will ensure you get the correct type of leg rest for your needs, and that it is compatible with the model of wheelchair you've selected. You should also talk to your therapist regarding the best lightweight self propelled wheelchair wheelchair accessories for you.
