Wheelchair legrests are an essential accessory for wheelchair users. They provide extra support for the legs and feet while seated. They are easy to attach and detach and can be moved between chairs to ensure that you always have them if required. Legrests are available in two different styles on basic and light Spinlife wheelchairs: elevating or swing away legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users. The swingaway legrests are a fantastic choice for a lot of people because they can be elevated to a position that is comfortable and then lower again to facilitate transfers into and out of the wheelchair. The elevating leg rests are suitable for anyone who needs their legs to be elevated and come complete with calf pads.

Legrests that are powered elevating are a common feature found on a variety of wheelchairs. They enable the user to elevate their feet to a more comfortable position to improve circulation and reduce swelling. The legrests can be lowered and raised with one motion. Certain models come with the option of a calf-strap cushion for added comfort. This is particularly useful for those with weak flexion of the knee or arthritis as it allows them to maintain an upright (extended) position.
The other kind of legrest is called an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it is able to be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it an excellent option for those who have issues with the angle of the knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation works by changing the distance between the knee and footplate in various locations, meaning that the footplate is longer when it is elevated than it is when it is lowered.
Because they are powered, articulating legrests do come with an additional cost and consequently, you'll find them fitted to a more specialist wheelchair. This is due to the additional parts needed to power this type legrest, such as a motor and actuator. These additional components add to the weight of the wheelchair, making it harder to maneuver in tight spaces.
There are two primary types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests; swing away and centre mount. Both have pros and cons, but it comes down to the individual preference of the user and their requirements. Swing away legrests can be put on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more prone to damage because the actuator is situated just outside the legrest. This is because it can be easily knocked over by other people and items in the room.
Centre mount legrests are an additional safety feature as they are fixed to the center of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. They don't have as many options for positioning and could be a barrier to some users. It is important to talk with a healthcare professional regarding your options prior to choosing swing away or centrally mounted legrests so that you can be sure that the right legrest is selected for your needs.
Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest
Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are made to redistribute pressure from the legs, helping in preventing the development of pressure sores. They can also assist with improved circulation and comfort in the lower limbs, and also help keep balance and stability. The padded legrests are generally fitted to the front or back of the wheelchair, and include a range of adjustments. Some leg rests have a swing-away component that makes it easier for people to move between and out of the wheelchair. Others feature the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to fit different leg lengths.
The type of leg rest that you pick will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized, while others don't. There are various angles that the leg rests are set at, which could alter your sitting position as well as how easy it is to move around.
Your medical condition may influence your choice. Elevating leg rests are at the same level and therefore are good for people who are unable to bend their legs. If you are able to bend your legs then an articulated legrest could be better for you. They will automatically adjust the length, so you won't need to adjust them manually.
We suggest that you test the wheelchair prior to making a decision. This will ensure that you purchase the right leg rest that meets your needs, and that it is compatible with the wheelchair you have selected. It is also recommended to consult your therapist before selecting any wheelchair accessories, since they can guide you on the most suitable options for you.
