Legrests that are powered elevating are a common feature found on a variety of wheelchairs. They allow the user to elevate their feet to a comfortable position to improve circulation and reduce 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 then lowered in a single movement. This can be especially beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritis since it permits the user to maintain an extended (knee straight) position.

Another type is an articulating footrest. It is different from a standard wheelchair legrest because it can be adjusted at various angles. This makes it a great option for those who be struggling with knee flexure when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation works by changing the distance between the knee and the footplate when it is in different positions, meaning that the footplate is larger when it is elevated compared to when it is when it is lower.

The legrests with articulation are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is because of the additional components needed to power this type legrest, which includes an actuator and motor. These additional components add to the weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.

There are two primary types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and it is a matter of personal preference of the user and their requirements. Legrests with a swing can be put on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is located just outside the legrest. This is because it is susceptible to being thrown over by other people and objects in the room.

Centre mount legrests offer an alternative that is safer as they are fixed to the center of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. However, they don't provide as many positions and it is also worth mentioning that the centre mount can be a visual barrier for some users. Whether you choose swing away or centre mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a healthcare professional to ensure that the correct kind of legrest is chosen to meet your needs.
