Legrests come in two different styles on basic and lightweight Spinlife wheelchairs that can be elevated or swing away legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users.

Legrests that are powered elevating are a standard feature on a variety of wheelchairs. They let the user elevate their feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models have an calf pad to provide comfort, however the main benefit of this kind of legrest is that it can be raised and lowered in a single motion. This is particularly beneficial for those with weak knee flexion or arthritis since it allows them to maintain an upright (extended) 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 an ideal option for those who be struggling with knee bend when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and the footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be wider when it's elevated, compared to when it's dropped. As they are usually powered, legrests with articulation do have an additional cost and as such, you'll often find them fitted to a more specialist wheelchair. This is due to the additional components needed to power this type of legrest including an actuator, motor and controls. These extra parts increase 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 their pros and disadvantages but it really is a matter of your personal preference and the needs of the individual user. 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 situated outside the legrest. This is because it is susceptible to being thrown over by other users and other objects in the room. The centre mount legrests are a safer choice since they are positioned in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be struck. mymobilityscooters do not offer as many options for positioning and could be a problem for some users. It is important to talk to a medical professional about your options prior to deciding on swing away or centre mounted legrests to ensure that the best legrest is chosen for your needs. Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are made to redistribute the pressure from the legs, and to prevent formation of pressure sores. They also help improve circulation and comfort for the lower limbs and aid in maintaining balance and stability. The padded legrests are typically fitted to the front or back of the wheelchair and come with a variety of adjustments. Some leg rests have a swing-away component, which can make it easier for users to get between and out of the wheelchair. Some have the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to fit different lengths of legs. The kind of leg rest you choose will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Certain leg rests come with motors however others do not. There are different angles that the leg rests are placed at, which will alter your sitting position as well as how easy it is to move around. The choice between an elevated leg rest and an articulated leg rest will depend on your medical conditions. Elevating leg rests are at the same height and therefore are good for those who cannot bend their legs. If you are able to bend your legs and have an articulated legrest, it could be better for you. This is because they adjust in length automatically, which means you don't need to constantly adjust them manually.
