Wheelchair leg rests are a simple but essential item for many wheelchair users as they offer extra support for legs and feet when seated in the chair. They are simple to attach and detach and can be moved between chairs, ensuring that you always have access to them when you need. The most common legrests for the basic and lightweight wheelchairs offered by Spinlife are swing-away or elevating leg rests both suitable for the majority of users. The legrests that swing away are a great choice for many because they can be elevated to a level that is comfortable, and then lowered again for transfers in and out of the wheelchair. Elevating leg rests are a great option for anyone who requires their legs elevated. They are equipped with the padding for your calf.
Heavy User Wheelchair Elevated Leg Rest
The Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair With Elevating Legrests is designed for bariatric users who need leg rests. It features a sturdy frame that can handle larger frames. This wheelchair is ideal for those with bigger needs. It comes with a seat up to 30 inches wide, it has a weight limit of 700lbs, a durable slide-tube silver vein steel frame and detachable feet plates that swing away.
Elevating legrests powered by electricity are a standard feature on a lot of wheelchairs. They let the user elevate their feet to a comfortable level for improved circulation and reduced swelling. Some models include an calf pad to provide comfort, however the main benefit of this kind of legrest is that it can be elevated and then lowered in a single movement. This can be particularly helpful for those suffering from knee flexion or arthritic conditions because it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position.
Another type is an articulated footrest. It is different from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it is adjustable at different angles. This makes it an excellent option for those who have issues with the angle of the knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate in various locations, meaning that the footplate is larger when it is elevated than it is when it is lower.
The articulating legrests are more expensive since they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is due to the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, such as an actuator and motor. These extra parts make it heavier for the wheelchair, making it harder to maneuver through tight spaces.
There are two main types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests, swing away and centre mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages however it all is a matter of individual preference of the user and their requirements. Legrests with a swing can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more prone to damage since the actuator is located behind the legrest. This is because it is susceptible to being thrown over by other users and items in the room.
The centre mount legrests are safer as they are fixed in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be struck. However, they do not offer as many positioning options and it is worth considering that the center mount may be a visible obstruction for some users. If you decide to use the swing away or centre mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a medical professional to ensure that the correct kind of legrest is chosen for your specific requirements.

Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are designed to redistribute pressure from the legs, helping prevent the development of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for the lower limbs as well as aid in maintaining balance and stability. The padding leg rests are generally fitted to the rear or front of the wheelchair and come with a variety of adjustable features. Some leg rests include an element that swings away, which can make it easier for patients to transfer into and out of the wheelchair. Some have a telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to suit different lengths of legs.
The type of leg rest you pick will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized and others don't. There are various angles that the leg rests can be placed at, which will alter your sitting position as well as how easy it is to move around.
Your medical condition can influence your choice. Elevating leg rests stay at the same level and therefore are good for those who are unable bend their legs. If you are able bend your legs then an articulated legrest could be the best choice for you. This is because they adjust their length automatically, which means you don't need to keep adjusting them manually.
We suggest that you test the wheelchair prior to making your decision. This will ensure that you purchase the right type of leg rest for your needs and that it fits comfortably with the model of wheelchair you've selected. You should also talk to your therapist about the best wheelchair accessories for you.
