A lot of wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable height for better circulation and less swelling. This type of legrest can be adjusted and raised with one motion. Some models come with the option of a calf-strap cushion for added comfort. This is particularly beneficial for those with poor flexion of the knee or arthritis since it allows them to maintain a straight (extended) position. The other type is an footrest that is articulating. It differs from a standard wheelchair legrest because it is adjustable to different angles. This makes it an ideal choice for those who may be struggling with knee bend when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation works by changing the distance between the knee and footplate when it is in different positions, which means that the footplate will be longer when it is elevated than it is when it is lowered. The legrests with articulation are more expensive because they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more customized. This is due to the additional parts required to power this type of legrest, such as an actuator and motor. The addition of these components adds weight to the overall weight of the wheelchair, making it harder to maneuver particularly in tight spaces. There are two main types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests; swing away and centre mount. all terrain self propelled wheelchair have pros and cons, but it comes down to the personal preference of the user and their needs. Swing away legrests are advantageous because they can be positioned at either side of the chair to allow greater freedom of movement but are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest where it is easily knocked over by other users or objects within the room. Centre mount legrests offer an alternative that is safer since they are fixed to the central section of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. However, they don't offer as many positioning options and it is also worth mentioning that the centre mount could be a visual obstacle for certain users. It is crucial to talk to a healthcare professional about your options prior to choosing swing away or centrally mounted legrests so that you can be sure that the correct legrest is selected for your needs. Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are designed to redistribute the pressure from the legs and avoid formation of pressure sores. They also aid in better circulation and comfort in the lower limbs as well as helping to maintain stability and balance. The padded legrests are generally fitted to the back or front of the wheelchair and include a range of adjustment features. Some leg rests have the ability to swing away, which can make it easier for you to move from and into the wheelchair. Some also have the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to fit different leg lengths. The type of leg rest you choose will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized while others are manual. There are various angles that the leg rests are placed at, which will affect your sitting posture and how easy it is to move around. Your medical condition can affect your decision. Elevating leg rests are at the same level and are therefore ideal for those who cannot bend their legs. However, if you do have the option of bending your legs then an articulated leg rest may be the best choice. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, meaning you don't need to keep adjusting them manually. We suggest that you test the wheelchair before making a decision.
