Many wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise their feet to a comfortable height for better circulation and less swelling. This kind of legrest can be raised and lowered with one motion. Some models come with an extra calf cushion to provide comfort. This is particularly beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritis since it allows them to remain in a straight (extended) position.
The other kind of legrest is known as an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it can be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it an excellent option for people who experience issues with the angle of their knee when raising or lowering 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, legrests that articulate do have an additional cost, and as such, you'll often see them attached to a higher-end wheelchair. This is because of the additional components required to power this type of legrest including motors, actuators and controls. These extra parts add to the weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.
There are two primary types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages however it all is a matter of individual preference of the user and their needs. Legrests that swing away offer the advantage that they can be placed on either side of the chair to allow greater mobility, however they can be more vulnerable to damage because the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest, where it is easily smashed by other people or 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 struck. They do not have as many options for positioning and can be a problem for some users. If you decide to use swing away or centre mount legrests, it is essential to discuss your options with a healthcare professional to ensure that the correct kind of legrest is chosen for your particular needs.
Standard Wheelchair with Elevated leg Rest
Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are designed to redistribute pressure from the legs, which helps prevent the development of pressure sores. They can also help with increased circulation and comfort in the lower limbs as well as helping to maintain stability and balance. The padded legrests are typically fitted to the front or back of the wheelchair and come with a variety of adjustment features. Some leg rests include a swing-away component, which can make it easier for users to get between and out of the wheelchair. Some also have the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to accommodate different leg lengths.
The kind of leg rest you pick will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized, while others are manual. Leg rests can also be adjusted to different angles, which can alter your sitting position and mobility.
The choice between an elevated leg rest or an articulating leg rest will also depend on your medical needs. Legrests that are elevated remain at the same height and are suitable for those who cannot bend their legs. If you can bend your legs, an articulated legrest may be a better choice. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, which means you don't need to adjust them manually.
