Wheelchair leg rests are a basic but essential item for many wheelchair users, since they provide additional support to the legs and feet while sitting in the chair. They are simple to attach and detach, and can be moved between different chairs so that you can always have access to them when you need. The standard choice of legrests on the basic lightweight wheelchairs available at Spinlife are swing-away or elevating leg rests, both of which are suitable for the majority of users. Swingaway legrests can be adjusted to a comfortable height and then lowered for transfers to and from the wheelchair. Elevating leg rests are a great option for anyone who requires their legs to be elevated. They are equipped with cushioning for the calf.
Heavy User Wheelchair Elevated Leg Rest
Created for wheelchair users with bariatrics who require leg rests the Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair with Elevating Leg Rests provides an ultra-sturdy frame to accommodate those with larger frame sizes. This wheelchair is perfect for those with larger needs. It comes with a seat up to 30 inches wide and the weight limit is 700lbs, a durable slide-tube silver vein steel frame, and a swing-away feet plate that can be detached.
Many wheelchairs come with powered elevating legrests which allow the user to raise their feet to a comfortable level for better circulation and less swelling. This kind of legrest can be raised and lowered with one motion. Certain models come with an extra calf cushion to provide comfort. This is particularly useful for those with poor knee flexion or arthritic condition as it allows them to maintain a straight (extended) position.
The other type of legrest is known as an articulating legrest and differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it is able to be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it an excellent option for people who experience issues with the angle of the knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and the footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be wider when it's elevated compared to when it's dropped.
The legrests that articulate are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is due to the additional parts required to power this type of legrest, including a motor and actuator. These additional components increase the weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.

There are two kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests; swing away and centre mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but it ultimately is a matter of individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests that swing away are advantageous because they can be positioned at either side of the chair, allowing more freedom of movement, but can be more prone to damage because the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest where it is easily knocked by other people or objects within the room.
The centre mount legrests are a safer option because they are mounted in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be hit. However, they do not provide as many positions and it is worth considering that the center mount may be a visible obstacle for certain users. Whether you choose swing away or centre mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a medical expert to ensure that the right type of legrest is selected to meet your needs.
Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest
Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are designed to distribute the pressure across the legs, and to prevent development of pressure sores. They can also help with improved circulation and comfort in the lower limbs, as well as helping to maintain balance and stability. The padded legrests are generally fitted to the back or front of the wheelchair and have a variety options for adjustment. Certain leg rests feature a swing-away feature that can make it easier for you to transfer into and out of a wheelchair. Some also have a telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to accommodate different leg lengths.
The kind of leg rest you select will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests have motors, while others don't. Leg rests can also be adjusted at various angles, which may impact your sitting position and mobility.
Your medical condition will also determine your decision. Elevating leg rests remain at the same height and are therefore ideal for people who are unable to bend their legs. However, if you do have the option of bending your legs, an articulated leg rest may be more appropriate. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, which means you don't need to adjust them manually.
If you're thinking of purchasing a wheelchair with leg rests, we recommend that you try it out before making a final decision. This will help you choose the right leg rest for you and ensure that it fits well with the wheelchair that you've selected. It is also recommended to speak with your therapist prior to deciding on any wheelchair accessories, since they can guide you on the most suitable options for you.
