Wheelchair leg rests are a basic but essential item for many wheelchair users as they provide extra support to the feet and legs whilst seated in the chair. Leg rests are simple to attach or remove and they can be moved from one chair to the next to ensure that they are always available. Legrests come in two different styles for basic and light Spinlife wheelchairs either with swingaway or elevating legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users. The swingaway legrests are a great choice for a lot of people because they can be raised to a position that is comfortable and then reduced for transfers into and out of the wheelchair. Elevating leg rests can be used by anyone who requires their legs elevated. They are equipped with cushioning for the calf.
Heavy User Wheelchair Elevated Leg Rest
Created for wheelchair users with bariatric disabilities who require leg rests the Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair with Leg Rests that Elevate provides an ultra-sturdy frame to support those with larger frame dimensions. This model is ideal for those with larger needs. It has the capacity of a seat that is 30 inches wide with it has a weight limit of 700lbs, a heavy-duty slide-tube silver vein steel frame, and detachable feet plates that swing away.
Many wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise their feet to a comfortable height for better circulation and reduced swelling. Some models include a calf pad for added comfort, but the main advantage of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and lowered in one movement. This is particularly beneficial for those suffering from knee flexion or arthritic issues since it permits the user to maintain an extended (knee straight) position.
The other is an articulated footrest. It differs from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it can be adjusted at different angles. This makes it a great option for those who have difficulty with the knee flexure when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation works by changing the distance between the knee and footplate in various locations, meaning that the footplate is longer when it is elevated than it is when it is lower.
Since they are typically powered, legrests with articulation do have an additional cost, and as such you will often see them installed on a more specialized wheelchair. This is because of the additional components required to power this type of legrest, which includes a motor and actuator. These extra parts increase the weight of 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 but it really is a matter of your personal preference and the needs of the individual user. Swing away legrests can be placed on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is situated behind the legrest. This is where it is easily knocked over by other users and objects in 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. They do not offer as many options for positioning and can be a barrier to certain users. If you opt for the swing away or centre mount legrests it is important to discuss your options with a medical professional to ensure that the correct kind of legrest is chosen for your specific needs.
Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest
Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are designed to redistribute the pressure from the legs and prevent the development of pressure sores. They can also help with increased circulation and comfort in the lower limbs, and also help maintain balance and stability. The padding leg rests are generally fitted to the rear or front of the wheelchair, and come with a variety of adjustment features. Some leg rests have a swing-away feature that can make it easier for you to move from and into the wheelchair. Some also have an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to fit different lengths of legs.
The kind of leg rest you choose will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Certain leg rests come with motors and others don't. There are various angles that the leg rests can be set at, which can affect your sitting posture and how it is easy to move around.
Your medical condition will also affect your decision. Elevating leg rests remain at the same elevation and are therefore ideal for people who are unable to bend their legs. However, if you have the option of bending your legs, then an articulated leg rest might be better. They will automatically adjust the length, meaning you won't need to adjust them manually.
We suggest that you test the wheelchair before making your decision. This will ensure that you get the right leg rest for your needs and that it fits comfortably with the wheelchair you've chosen. You should also talk to your therapist about the best wheelchair accessories for you.
We offer padded legrests for wheelchairs as an additional feature that can be available for rental on a daily monthly or weekly basis. Visit our website for more details about the wheelchairs we rent.
