Legrests come in two styles on the basic and light Spinlife wheelchairs: elevating or swing away legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users.

Many wheelchairs come with powered elevating legrests which allow the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable level for better circulation and less swelling. This kind of legrest can be lowered and raised by a single movement. Certain models come with an extra calf cushion to provide comfort. This can be especially beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritis as it allows the user to maintain an extended (knee straight) position.
The other type is an footrest that is articulating. It differs from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it is adjustable to different angles. This makes it a great choice for people who have difficulty with the angle of their knee when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and the footplate when in different positions, which means that the footplate is larger when it is elevated than it is when it is lowered.
Since they are typically powered, the legrests with articulation do have an additional cost, and as such you will often be installed on a more specialized wheelchair. This is due to the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, which includes a motor and actuator. These extra parts increase the weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.
There are two primary kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages and it comes down to the individual preference of the user and their requirements. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage due to the fact that the actuator is located behind the legrest. This is where it can be easily knocked over by other users and objects in the room.
Centre mount legrests offer an alternative that is safer since they are fixed to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. They do not have as many options for positioning and can be a barrier to certain users. It is crucial to talk with a healthcare professional regarding your options before choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to ensure that the best legrest is selected to meet your requirements.
Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest
Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are made to distribute the pressure across the legs and prevent the formation of pressure sores.

The padded legrests are generally fitted to the front or back of the wheelchair, and come with a variety of adjustments. Certain leg rests feature an option to swing away that can make it easier to transfer into and out of a wheelchair. Others feature an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to accommodate different lengths of legs.
There are a number of different kinds of leg rests for wheelchairs, and selecting the best one for you will depend on your medical health. Some leg rests are motorized while others are manual. Leg rests can also be adjusted at different angles, which could impact your sitting position and mobility.
Your medical condition can determine your decision. Elevating legrests are at the same height and are therefore good for those who can't bend their legs. However, if you have the option of bending your legs then an articulated knee rest could be better. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, so you don't need to adjust them manually.
