Leg rests are simple to attach or remove and they can be moved from chair to chair so you always have them available. Legrests are available in two different styles on basic and lightweight Spinlife wheelchairs either with swingaway or elevating legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users.

Heavy User Wheelchair Elevated Leg Rest
The Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair With Elevating Legrests is designed for those with bariatric issues who require leg rests. It features an extremely sturdy frame that can support larger frame sizes. This wheelchair is ideal for those who have larger needs. It features an adjustable seat that is up to 30 inches wide and a weight limit of 700lbs, a durable slide-tube silver vein steel frame and detachable feet plates that swing away.
Legrests that are powered elevating are a common feature found on a variety of wheelchairs. They allow the user to raise their feet to a comfortable position to improve circulation and reduce swelling. This kind of legrest can be lowered and raised in a single motion. Some models include an extra calf cushion to provide comfort. This is particularly useful for those with poor knee flexion or arthritis as it permits them to keep a straight (extended) position.
The other type of legrest is called an articulating or articulating legrest. It differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it is able to be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it an ideal option for those who be struggling with knee flexure angle when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate in various positions, which means that the footplate is larger when it is elevated compared to when it is when it is lower.
As they are usually powered, the legrests that articulate do have an additional cost and as such you will often find them installed on a more specialized wheelchair. This is due to the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, including a motor and actuator. These additional components increases the weight of the wheelchair making it harder to maneuver particularly in tight spaces.
There are two types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests: swing away and center mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but it depends on the personal preference of the user and their needs. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more prone to damage due to the fact that the actuator is located just outside the legrest. This is the place where it is easily knocked over by other users and items 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 hit. They don't have as many options for positioning, and may be a barrier to certain users. It is crucial to talk to a medical professional about your options prior to choosing swing away or centrally mounted legrests so that you can be sure that the best legrest is selected for your requirements.
Standard Wheelchair with Elevated leg Rest
Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are made to distribute the pressure across the legs, and to prevent development of pressure sores. They can also assist with increased circulation and comfort in the lower limbs as well as helping to keep balance and stability. The cushioned leg rests are usually placed at the front or rear of the wheelchair and are equipped with a variety of adjustable features. Some leg rests come with a swing-away feature that can make it easier for you to move from and into the wheelchair. Some have the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to suit different leg lengths.
The kind of leg rest you choose will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests have motors, while others don't. Leg rests can also be adjusted at different angles, which can alter your sitting position and mobility.
The decision between an elevating leg rest and an articulated leg rest will depend on your medical condition. Elevating leg rests remain at the same level and are a good choice for people who are unable to bend their legs. If you can bend your legs, an articulated legrest may be better for you. They automatically adjust the length, meaning you won't need to adjust them manually.
