The legrests can be lowered and raised with one motion. Certain models come with a calf cushion for extra comfort. This is particularly useful for those with poor flexion of the knee or arthritis as it permits them to keep an upright (extended) position.
The other is an articulating footrest. It is different from a standard wheelchair legrest because it is adjustable at different angles. This makes it a great choice for those who may be struggling with knee flexure when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be longer when it's elevated, compared to when it's lowered.
The legrests that articulate are more expensive since they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is due to the additional parts needed to power this kind of legrest, which includes a motor and actuator. The addition of these components adds to the overall weight of the wheelchair making it difficult to maneuver particularly in tight spaces.
There are two primary types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests, swing away and centre mount. Both have pros and cons however it all depends on the individual preference of the user and their needs. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more prone to damage since the actuator is situated outside the legrest. This is the place where it can be easily knocked over by other users and other 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. However, they don't provide as many options for positioning and it is worth mentioning that the centre mount may be a visible obstacle for certain users. It is crucial to talk to a medical professional about your options before choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to ensure that the right legrest is selected for your requirements.
