Legrests are available in two styles on basic and light Spinlife wheelchairs: elevating or swing away legrests. self propelled wheelchair with removable arms are suitable for the majority of users.

Heavy User Wheelchair with Leg Rests that are elevated The Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair With Elevating Legrests is designed for bariatric patients who require leg rests. It has an extremely sturdy frame that can handle larger frame sizes. With a seat width of up 30 inches, a weight capacity up to 700lbs, a heavy-duty slide tube with silver vein steel frame and swing away foot plates that are detachable this wheelchair is perfect for those with larger needs. Elevating legrests powered by electricity are a common feature found on a lot of wheelchairs. They let the user elevate their feet to a comfortable position to improve circulation and reduce swelling. The legrests can be adjusted and raised with one motion. Some models come with the option of a calf-strap cushion for added comfort. This can be especially beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritis as it allows the user to remain in an extended (knee straight) position. The other type of legrest is known as an articulating or 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 be struggling with knee flexure when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and the footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be larger when it's elevated than when it's lower. Because they are powered, the legrests that articulate do have an additional cost and consequently, you'll see them installed on a more specialized wheelchair. This is because of the additional components required to power this kind of legrest, which includes a motor, actuator and controls. Having these additional parts also adds to the overall weight of the wheelchair, making it more difficult to manoeuvre particularly in tight spaces. There are two primary types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests, swing away and centre mount. Both have pros and cons however it all comes down to the individual preference of the user and their requirements. Legrests that swing away offer the advantage that they can be placed on either side of the chair, allowing greater freedom of movement but can be more prone to damage as the actuator is located on the outside of the legrest, where it is easily smashed by other people or objects within the room. The centre mount legrests are safer because they are mounted in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be hit. However, they don't provide as many positions and it is worth considering that the centre mount can be a visual obstruction for some 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 right legrest is selected to meet your needs. Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are designed to redistribute pressure from the legs, which helps in preventing the development of pressure sores. They also help improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs as well as help maintain stability and balance. The padded legrests are usually installed on the front or back of the wheelchair, and come with a variety of options for adjustment. Certain leg rests feature an option to swing away that makes it easier to move into and out of the wheelchair. Some leg rests have a telescoping, adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to different leg lengths. The type of leg rest that you select will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Certain leg rests come with motors, while others do not. Leg rests can also be adjusted to various angles, which may alter your sitting position and mobility. Your medical condition can determine your decision. Elevating leg rests stay at the same level and are therefore ideal for people who are unable to bend their legs. However, if you have the option of bending your legs, an articulated leg rest may be more appropriate. This is because they adjust their length automatically, so you don't have to adjust them manually. If you're planning on buying a wheelchair that has leg rests we suggest that you test it before you make a final decision. This will help you select the best leg rest that is suitable for you and ensure that it is compatible perfectly with the wheelchair you've selected. You should also talk to your therapist on the most appropriate wheelchair accessories for you.
