They provide additional support for the legs and feet while seated. The leg rests are simple to attach or remove and they can be moved from chair to chair so that you have them available.

Heavy User Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest Designed for bariatric wheelchair users who require leg rests the Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair with Leg Rests with Elevation has a strong frame to support those with larger frame sizes. This wheelchair is perfect for those with larger requirements. It has the capacity of a seat that is 30 inches wide with a weight limit of 700lbs, a heavy-duty slide-tube silver vein steel frame, and detachable feet plates that swing away. A lot of wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that allow the user to raise their feet to a comfortable height for better circulation and reduced swelling. Some models include an extra calf pad for comfort, however the main benefit of this kind of legrest is that it can be raised and lowered in a single motion. This is particularly beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritic issues since it permits the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position. The other kind of legrest is referred to as an articulating legrest and differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it is able to be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it an ideal option for those who have difficulty with the knee flexure when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and the footplate in various positions, meaning that the footplate will be longer when it is elevated compared to when it is when it is lower. The legrests with articulation are more expensive because they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more customized. This is due to the additional components needed to power this type legrest, including a motor and actuator. These additional components adds weight to the overall weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver particularly in tight spaces. There are two main types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests; swing away and centre mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages, but it ultimately depends on individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair for 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 is easily knocked over by other users and objects in the room. Centre mount legrests are a safer alternative 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 center mount could be a visual barrier for some users. If you decide to use swing away or centre mount legrests it is important to discuss your options with a healthcare expert to ensure that the right type of legrest is selected to meet your requirements. Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are made to distribute the pressure across the legs and avoid formation of pressure sores. They also help improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs and aid in maintaining balance and stability. The padded legrests are typically fitted to the front or back of the wheelchair and include a range of adjustment features. Some leg rests have an option to swing away that can make it easier to transfer into and out of the wheelchair. Others feature an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to fit different leg lengths. The type of leg rest that you select will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized while others are manual. There are various angles that the leg rests are set at, which could affect your sitting position and how easy it is to move around. Your medical condition will also affect your decision. Elevating leg rests stay at the same elevation and therefore are good for those who are unable bend their legs. However, if you have the option of bending your legs, then an articulated knee rest could be the best choice. They will automatically adjust the length, meaning you won't have to adjust them manually. If you are planning on purchasing a wheelchair with leg rests, we recommend to test it before deciding. This will help you to choose the right leg rest that is suitable for you and ensure that it is compatible perfectly with the wheelchair you've selected. You should also talk to your therapist regarding the best wheelchair accessories for you.
