Legrests are available in two styles on basic and lightweight Spinlife wheelchairs either with swingaway or elevating legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users.

Elevating legrests powered by electricity are a common feature found on many wheelchairs, and allow the user to raise their feet to a more comfortable position for improved circulation and reduced swelling. Some models come with an calf pad to provide comfort, but the main benefit of this kind of legrest is that it can be raised and lowered in a single motion. This is particularly beneficial for those with weak knee flexion or arthritis since it allows them to maintain an upright (extended) position. The other is an articulated footrest. It differs from a standard wheelchair legrest because it is adjustable at various angles. This makes it a good choice for people who have difficulty with the angle of the knee when raising or lowering 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 compared to when it is when it is lower. The articulating legrests are more expensive because they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is due to the additional components needed to power this type legrest, including an actuator and motor. Having these additional parts also increases the weight of the wheelchair, making it more difficult to manoeuvre especially in tight spaces. There are two primary types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages, but it all is a matter of personal preference and the requirements of the individual user. Legrests that swing away offer the advantage that they can be positioned at either side of the chair to provide more freedom of movement, but are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is located on the outside of the legrest, where it is easily knocked by other people or 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 don't have as many options for positioning, and may be a barrier to certain users. If you decide to use to swing away or center mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a healthcare expert to ensure that the right type of legrest is chosen for your particular needs. Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are crafted to help distribute pressure across the legs and prevent the development of pressure sores. They can also help with increased circulation and comfort in the lower limbs, in addition to helping maintain stability and balance. The padded legrests are usually installed on the back or front of the wheelchair, and come with a variety of options for adjustment. wheelchair self propelled come with an element that swings away, which can make it easier for people to get in and out of the wheelchair. Others feature the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to suit different lengths of legs. The type of leg rest you pick will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized however others don't. Leg rests can also be adjusted to different angles, which can impact your sitting position and mobility. The choice between an elevating leg rest and an articulating leg rest will also depend on your medical needs. Elevating leg rests are at the same elevation and therefore are good for people who are unable to bend their legs. If you are able bend your legs then an articulated legrest could be better for you. They automatically adjust the length, so you won't need to adjust them manually. If you are planning on purchasing a wheelchair with a leg rest, we recommend to test it before deciding.
