Wheelchair leg rests are an easy but essential item for many wheelchair users, since they provide additional support for legs and feet when seated in the chair. The leg rests are simple to attach or remove and they can be moved from one chair to another to ensure that they are always available. The most common legrests on the basic lightweight wheelchairs available at Spinlife are swing away or elevating leg rests, both suitable for most users. The legrests that swing away are a great option for a lot of people because they can be elevated to a level that is comfortable and then reduced for transfers into and out of the wheelchair. Leg rests that are elevated can be used by anyone who requires their legs elevated. They are equipped with calf padding. Heavy User Wheelchair with Leg Rests that are elevated The Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair With Elevating Legrests is made for bariatric users who need leg rests. It is built with strong frame that can support larger frames. With a seat width of up 30 inches, a weight capacity up to 700lbs, heavy-duty slide tube with silver vein steel frame, and swing away detachable foot plates this wheelchair is ideal for those with larger needs. Many wheelchairs come with powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable height to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models have an calf pad to provide comfort, but the primary advantage of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and then lowered in a single movement. This is particularly beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritis as it allows them to maintain a straight (extended) position. Another type is an articulated footrest. It is different from a standard wheelchair legrest because it can be adjusted to different angles. This makes it a great option for people who experience difficulty with the angle of their knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and footplate when in different locations, meaning that the footplate is longer when it is elevated than when it is when it is lower. The legrests with articulation are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is due to the additional parts needed to power this type legrest, which includes a motor and actuator. The addition of these components adds weight to the overall weight of the wheelchair making it more difficult to manoeuvre particularly in tight spaces. There are two main types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages but it really is a matter of 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, allowing greater mobility, however they can be more prone to damage as the actuator is located on the outside of the legrest where it is easily knocked over by other users or objects within the room. Centre mount legrests provide a safer alternative as they are fixed to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. However, they don't provide as many options for positioning and it is also worth mentioning that the centre mount can be a visual barrier for certain users. It is essential to speak to a healthcare professional about your options prior to choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to make sure that the correct legrest is selected to meet your needs. Standard Wheelchair with Elevated leg Rest Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are designed to help distribute pressure across the legs and prevent the formation of pressure sores. They can also help with improved circulation and comfort in the lower limbs, in addition to helping maintain stability and balance. The cushioned leg rests are usually fitted to the rear or front of the wheelchair and come with a variety of adjustment features. Certain leg rests feature a swing-away feature that can make it easier to move into and out of a wheelchair. Certain leg rests feature an adjustable footplate that is telescoping that can be adapted to different leg lengths. There are a number of different types of leg rests available for wheelchairs. Choosing the one that is right for you will depend on your medical condition. Some leg rests are motorized while others are manual. There are also different angles that the leg rests can be set at, which could affect your sitting posture and how it is easy to move around. The choice between an elevated leg rest or an leg rest that is articulating will depend on your medical needs. Elevating leg rests stay at the same level and therefore are go od for people who are unable to bend their legs. However, if you do have the option of bending your legs, then an articulated leg rest may be more appropriate. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, meaning you don't need to keep adjusting them manually. If you are planning on purchasing a wheelchair with a leg rest, we recommend that you try it out before making a final decision. This will help you select the best leg rest for your needs and ensure that it will work well with the wheelchair that you've selected. It is also recommended to consult with your therapist prior to deciding on any wheelchair accessories, since they can advise you of the most suitable options for you. At Easy Medical Store, we offer padded leg rests for wheelchairs that are available for rental by the week, day or even a month as an accessory to our wheelchair rentals.
