Powered elevating legrests are a standard feature on many wheelchairs, and enable the user to elevate their feet to a comfortable level for improved circulation and reduced swelling. Some models have a calf pad for added comfort, but the primary benefit of this kind of legrest is that it can be elevated and then lowered in a single movement. This is especially useful for those with poor knee flexion or arthritic condition as it allows them to maintain a straight (extended) position.
The other is an articulated footrest. It differs from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it can be adjusted at various angles. This makes it an excellent option for those who have trouble with the angle of their knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be larger when it's elevated compared to when it's dropped.
The articulating legrests are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more customized. This is due to the additional components needed to power this type legrest, including an actuator and motor. These extra parts add to the weight of the wheelchair, making it harder to maneuver through tight spaces.
There are two kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests; swing away and centre mount. Both have pros and cons however it all is a matter of individual preference of the user and their requirements. Legrests with a swing can be put on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However they are more prone to damage since the actuator is located just outside the legrest. This is the place where it is susceptible to being thrown over by other users and items in the room.
The centre mount legrests are safer as they are fixed in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be hit. However, they do not provide as many options for positioning and it is also worth considering that the center mount may be a visible barrier for some users. Whether you choose to swing away or center mount legrests it is important to discuss your options with a medical professional to ensure that the correct type of legrest is chosen to meet your needs.
