They are easy to attach and detach, and can be moved between different chairs so that you can always have them if required. Legrests come in two styles on basic and lightweight Spinlife wheelchairs: elevating or swing away legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users.

A lot of wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models come with an calf pad to provide comfort, but the main benefit of this kind of legrest is that it can be elevated and lowered in a single motion. This can be especially beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritic issues as it allows the user to maintain an extended (knee straight) position.
The other type is an articulated footrest. It differs from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it is adjustable at different angles. This makes it an excellent option for those who have trouble with the angle of their knee when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes 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 lowered.
The articulating legrests are more expensive because they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is largely because of the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest such as motors, actuators and controls. These additional components make it heavier for the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver through tight spaces.
There are two main kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages, but it all is a matter of your personal preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests that swing away can be put on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage since the actuator is located just outside the legrest. This is where it can be easily knocked over by other people and other objects in the room.
Centre mount legrests provide an alternative that is safer because they are attached to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. However, they do not provide as many options for positioning and it is also worth considering that the centre mount can be a visual barrier for certain users. It is essential to speak to a medical professional about your options prior to deciding on swing away or centre mounted legrests to ensure that the correct legrest is selected to meet your requirements.
Standard Wheelchair with Elevated leg Rest
Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are designed to distribute pressure across the legs, which helps in preventing the development of pressure sores. They can also assist with increased circulation and comfort in the lower limbs and also help keep balance and stability. The padded legrests are usually placed on the front or back of the wheelchair, and have a variety adjustments. Some leg rests come with a swing-away feature that can make it easier for you to move from and into a wheelchair. Others feature a telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to accommodate different lengths of legs.
The type of leg rest that you pick will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Certain leg rests come with motors, while others don't. Leg rests can also be adjusted at different angles, which could affect your sitting posture and mobility.
Your medical condition will also affect your decision. Elevating legrests remain at the same height, and are ideal for those who are unable to bend their legs. However, if you have the option of bending your legs then an articulated leg rest may be the best choice. This is because they will adjust their length automatically, meaning you don't need to constantly adjust them manually.
