They provide extra support for feet and legs when seated. They are simple to attach and detach and can be moved around between chairs to ensure that you always access them when you need. The standard choice of legrests for the basic and lightweight wheelchairs sold at Spinlife are the swingaway or elevating leg rests, both suitable for the majority of users. The legrests that swing away are a great choice for many as they can be elevated to a height that is comfortable and then reduced for transfers into and out of the wheelchair. The leg rests that elevate are suitable for anyone who requires their legs to be elevated and come complete with calf pads. Heavy User Wheelchair Elevated Leg Rest The Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair With Elevating Legrests is designed for bariatric patients who require leg rests. It features strong frame that can accommodate larger frame sizes. This model is ideal for those with bigger requirements. It comes with the capacity of a seat that is 30 inches wide, the weight limit is 700lbs, a sturdy slide-tube silver vein steel frame and detachable feet plates that swing away. A lot of wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise their feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models include an extra calf pad for comfort, but the main advantage of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and lowered in a single motion. This is especially useful for those who have poor flexion of the knee or arthritis as it allows them to remain in an upright (extended) position. The other kind of legrest is referred to as an articulating or articulating legrest. It differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it can be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it a great option for those who struggle with knee flexure angle when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the footplate and knee in various positions, which means that the footplate is longer when it is elevated than it is when it is lowered. Because they are powered, the legrests with articulation do have an additional cost, and as such you will often find them installed on a more specialized wheelchair. This is due to the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, including a motor and actuator. These additional components increases the weight of the chair, making it more difficult to manoeuvre especially in tight spaces. There are two kinds of wheelchairs with elevating legrests: swing away and center mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages, but it ultimately comes down to personal preference and the requirements of the individual user. Legrests that are swivelling away have the advantage that they can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater freedom of movement but are more susceptible to damage since the actuator is located on the outside of the legrest where it is easily knocked over by other users or objects in the room. The centre mount legrests are a safer choice as they are fixed in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be struck. mymobilityscooters don't have as many options for positioning and could be a hindrance for some users. It is essential to speak with a healthcare professional regarding your options before choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to ensure that the right legrest is chosen for your requirements. Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are made to redistribute the pressure from the legs and prevent the development of pressure sores. They also help improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs, and aid in maintaining stability and balance. The padding leg rests are generally installed to the rear or front of the wheelchair and are equipped with a variety of adjustable features. Some leg rests have the ability to swing away, which can make it easier for you to move into and out of the wheelchair. Certain leg rests feature a telescoping, adjustable footplate that can be adapted to different leg lengths. The type of leg rest you choose will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized however others do not. There are different angles that the leg rests are placed at, which will affect your sitting position and how easy it is to move around. The decision between an elevating leg rest and an articulating leg rest will also depend on your medical conditions. Elevating legrests are at the same height and are therefore good for those who can't bend their legs. However, if you do have the option of bending your legs then an articulated leg rest might be better. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, meaning you don't need to keep adjusting them manually. If you're thinking of buying a wheelchair that has a leg rest we suggest that you try it out before making a final decision. This will ensure that you get the correct type of leg rest for your needs and that it is compatible with the wheelchair you have selected. It is also advisable to consult with your therapist prior to selecting any wheelchair accessories, since they can provide you with the most suitable options for you. We provide padded legrests for wheelchairs as an additional feature that can be available for rental on a daily weekly or monthly basis.
