Many wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that allow the user to raise their feet to a comfortable level for better circulation and reduced swelling. Some models include a calf pad for added comfort, but the primary benefit of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and lowered in one movement. This is particularly beneficial for those with weak knee flexion or arthritis as it allows them to remain in a straight (extended) position.
The other type of legrest is referred to as an articulating legrest and differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it is able to be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it an ideal choice for those who may struggle with knee flexure angle when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and the footplate in various positions, which means that the footplate is longer when it is elevated compared to when it is when it is lower.
As they are usually powered, legrests that articulate do have an additional cost and as such, you'll often find them installed on a more specialized wheelchair. This is due to the additional components required to power this type of legrest, including a motor and actuator. Having these additional parts also adds weight to the overall weight of the wheelchair making it difficult to maneuver particularly in tight spaces.
There are two kinds of wheelchairs with elevating legrests that can be lowered: swing away and center mount. self propelled wheelchairs for sale uk have advantages and disadvantages and it depends on the personal preference of the user and their requirements. Swing away legrests are advantageous because they can be placed on either side of the chair, allowing greater freedom of movement but can be more vulnerable to damage since the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest where it is easily knocked over by other users or objects in the room.
Centre mount legrests provide an alternative that is safer as they are fixed to the central section of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. They do not offer as many options for positioning and can be a barrier to certain users. It is important to talk to a healthcare professional about your options prior to choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to make sure that the right legrest is chosen for your requirements.
