The leg rests are easy to attach or remove, and they can be moved from chair to chair so that you have them available.

Legrests that are powered elevating are a common feature found on many self propelled wheelchairs for sale uk, and enable the user to raise their feet to a comfortable position for improved circulation and reduced swelling. Some models have a calf pad for added comfort, but the primary benefit of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and lowered in a single motion. This is particularly useful for those with poor flexion of the knee or arthritis since it permits them to keep an upright (extended) position.

The other kind of legrest is known as an articulating or articulating legrest. It differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it can be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it a great choice for those who may be struggling with knee flexure when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and the 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.

Since they are typically powered, the legrests with articulation do have an additional cost and as such you will often be attached to a higher-end wheelchair. This is due to the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, which includes a motor and actuator. The addition of these components increases the weight of the wheelchair making it difficult to maneuver particularly in 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 all is a matter of personal preference and the requirements of the individual user. Legrests that are swivelling away offer the advantage that they can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater lightweight self folding mobility scooters, however they can be more vulnerable to damage as the actuator is located on the outside of the legrest where it is easily smashed by other users or by items in the room.

Centre mount legrests provide a safer alternative since they are fixed to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. However, they do not provide as many positions and it is worth considering that the center mount may be a visible obstacle for certain users. If you decide to use 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 for your specific requirements.

Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs with foot rests are crafted to distribute the pressure across the legs and avoid formation of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs as well as aid in maintaining stability and balance. The cushioned leg rests are usually installed to the front or rear of the wheelchair and are equipped with a variety of adjustment features. Some leg rests have an element that swings away that makes it easier for patients to move in and out of the wheelchair. Some leg rests have a telescoping, adjustable footplate that can be adapted to different leg lengths.

There are many different kinds of leg rests for wheelchairs, and choosing the best one for you will depend on your medical health. Some leg rests are motorized while others are manual. There are various angles that the leg rests can be placed at, which will affect your sitting posture and how it is easy to move around.

The decision between an elevating leg rest and an leg rest that is articulating will depend on your medical needs. Elevating legrests are at the same height and are therefore suitable for those who cannot bend their legs. If you do have the option to bend your legs then an articulated leg rest might be more appropriate. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, so you don't need to adjust them manually.

We recommend you try the wheelchair before making your decision. This will ensure that you get the correct type of leg rest to meet your needs, and that it fits comfortably with the wheelchair you have selected. It is also advisable to consult your therapist prior to selecting any wheelchair accessories, as they will be able to guide you on the most suitable choices for you.

We provide padded legrests for wheelchairs as an additional feature that can be rented on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. For more details on the range of wheelchairs we rent visit our website today.
