This type of legrest can be raised and lowered with one motion. Some models come with an extra calf cushion to provide comfort. This can be especially beneficial for those who suffer from poor knee flexion or arthritic conditions because it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position. The other type of legrest is called an articulating or articulating legrest. It differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it can be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it a great choice for those who may have difficulty with the knee bend when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation works by changing the distance between the knee and footplate when it is in different locations, meaning that the footplate will be longer when it is elevated compared to when it is when it is lower. The articulating legrests are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is largely due to the extra components required to power this kind of legrest, which includes motors, actuators and controls. Having these additional parts also adds to the overall weight of the chair, making it more difficult to manoeuvre especially in 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 comes down to the personal preference of the user and their requirements. Legrests with a swing can be put on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more susceptible to damage since the actuator is located outside the legrest. This is where it is easily knocked over by other users and objects in the room. Centre mount legrests provide an additional safety feature since they are fixed to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be impacted. They do not have as many options for positioning and can be a hindrance for some users. Whether you choose the swing away or centre mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a healthcare professional to ensure that the correct kind of legrest is chosen for your particular requirements. Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are made 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, and aid in maintaining balance and stability. The cushioned leg rests are usually installed to the front or rear of the wheelchair and come with a variety of adjustment features. Some leg rests come with a swing-away component, which can make it easier for people to transfer between and out of the wheelchair. Others feature the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to accommodate different lengths of legs. The type of leg rest that you select will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized, while others do not. There are also different angles that the leg rests can be set at, which can affect your sitting posture and how it is easy to move around. The decision between an elevating leg rest or an articulating leg rest will also depend on your medical conditions. Elevating legrests remain at the same height and are therefore good for those who can't bend their legs. If you do have the option of bending your legs, an articulated leg rest may be more appropriate. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, which means you don't have to adjust them manually. We recommend that you test the wheelchair prior to making the decision. This will help you to pick the right leg rest for your needs and ensure that it fits perfectly with the wheelchair you have chosen. It is also recommended to consult your therapist prior to deciding on any wheelchair accessories, since they will be able to guide you on the most suitable options for you.
