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

Powered elevating legrests are a standard feature on a variety of wheelchairs. They let the user raise their feet to a more comfortable position for improved circulation and reduced swelling. This type of legrest can be lowered and raised by a single movement. Some models include a calf cushion for extra comfort. This is especially useful for those with weak knee flexion or arthritis as it allows them to maintain a straight (extended) position. The other type of legrest is referred to as an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it is able to be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it a good option for those who have issues with the angle of their knee when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate when in different positions, meaning that the footplate is longer when it is elevated compared to when it is when it is lower. Because they are powered, the articulating legrests do come with an additional cost and as such, you'll often be fitted to a more specialist wheelchair. This is due to the additional components needed to power this type of legrest, which includes motors, actuators and controls. These extra components increase the weight of the wheelchair, making it harder to maneuver through 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 all is a matter of individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Swing away legrests offer the advantage that they can be placed on either side of the chair, allowing greater mobility, however they can be more vulnerable to damage as the actuator is located on the outside of the legrest, where it is easily knocked by other users or objects in the room. The centre mount legrests are a safer option because they are mounted in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be struck. However, they do not provide as many options for positioning and it is also worth considering that the centre mount could be a visual obstruction for certain users. It is important to talk to a medical professional about your options prior to deciding on swing away or centre mounted legrests to make sure that the right legrest is selected for your needs. Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are crafted to help distribute pressure across the legs and avoid formation of pressure sores. They can also assist with better circulation and comfort in the lower limbs, in addition to helping maintain stability and balance. The padded legrests are typically installed on the back or front of the wheelchair, and have a variety options for adjustment. Some leg rests come with the ability to swing away which makes it easier for people to get in and out of the wheelchair. Some have an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to fit different leg lengths. There are many different kinds of leg rests for wheelchairs, and choosing the right one for you will depend on your medical health. Some leg rests are motorized while others are manual. There are different angles that the leg rests are set at, which can alter your sitting position as well as how easy it is to move around. Your medical condition may determine your decision.
