A lot of wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests which allow the user to raise their feet to a comfortable level for better circulation and reduced swelling. Some models include an calf pad to provide comfort, but the primary benefit of this kind of legrest is that it can be raised and then lowered in a single movement. This can be particularly helpful for those who suffer from poor knee flexion or arthritis since it permits the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position. The other kind of legrest is referred to as an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it can be positioned at a number of angles. mymobilityscooters.uk makes it a great option for those who have issues with the angle of their 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 longer when it's elevated compared to when it's lower. The legrests with articulation are more expensive because they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is largely because of the additional components required to power this kind of legrest including motors, actuators and controls. These extra components add to the weight of the wheelchair, making it more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. There are two main kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests; swing away and centre mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but it ultimately comes down to individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However they are more susceptible to damage since the actuator is situated just outside the legrest. This is where it can be easily knocked over by other people and items in the room. Centre mount legrests are an additional safety feature since they are fixed to the central section of the wheelchair and are less likely to be impacted. However, they do not provide as many options for positioning and it is worth mentioning that the centre mount may be a visible obstruction for some users. If you opt for the swing away or centre mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a healthcare expert to ensure that the right type of legrest is selected to meet your needs. Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are designed to distribute the pressure across the legs, and to prevent formation of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for the lower limbs, and help maintain stability and balance. The padding leg rests are generally installed to the front or rear of the wheelchair and are equipped with a range of adjustment features. Some leg rests have an option to swing away that can make it easier to move from and into a wheelchair. Some have the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to suit different leg lengths. The type of leg rest that you choose will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Certain leg rests come with motors however others do not. There are various angles that the leg rests can be set at, which could affect your sitting posture and how easy it is to move around. The choice between an elevated leg rest and an articulating leg rest will also depend on your medical condition. Elevating leg rests stay at the same level and are a good choice for those who cannot bend their legs. If you can bend your legs, an articulated legrest may be better for you. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, which means you don't need to keep adjusting them manually. We suggest that you test the wheelchair before making a decision. This will ensure that you purchase the right leg rest for your needs and that it will fit comfortably in the model of wheelchair you've selected. It is also recommended to consult with your therapist prior to selecting any wheelchair accessories, as they can guide you on the best choices for you. We provide padded legrests to wheelchairs as an accessory that can be hired on a daily, monthly or weekly basis. For more details on the range of wheelchairs we hire, visit our website today.
