Wheelchair leg rests are a simple but essential item for many wheelchair users as they provide additional support for legs and feet when seated in the chair. Leg rests are simple to attach or remove, and they can be moved from chair to chair to ensure that they are always available. The standard choice of legrests on the basic and lightweight wheelchairs offered by Spinlife are swing away or elevating leg rests both of which are suitable for the majority of users.

Many wheelchairs come with powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise his or her feet to a comfortable height for better circulation and less swelling. This type of legrest can be lowered and raised by a single movement. Some models come with a calf cushion for extra comfort. This is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from poor knee flexion or arthritis because it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position.
The other is an articulated footrest. It differs from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it is adjustable at various angles. This makes it a great option for those who struggle with knee flexure when lowering or elevating 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 it is lowered.
Since they are typically powered, legrests with articulation do have an additional cost, and as such, you'll often find them attached to a higher-end wheelchair. This is because of the additional components required to power this kind of legrest such as an actuator, motor and controls. The addition of these components increases the weight of the wheelchair, making it harder to maneuver especially in tight spaces.
There are two kinds of wheelchairs with elevating legrests such as swing away and center mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but it all comes down to individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests that swing away have the advantage that they can be placed on either side of the chair to provide more freedom of movement, but are more susceptible to damage since the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest where it is easily smashed by other users or by items within the room.
Centre mount legrests are a safer alternative because they are attached to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be impacted. They do not offer as many options for positioning, and may be a problem for certain users. If you decide to use to swing away or center mount legrests, it is essential to discuss your options with a medical expert to ensure that the right type of legrest is chosen to meet your needs.

Some also have the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to accommodate different leg lengths.
The type of leg rest you select will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Certain leg rests come with motors, while others don't. There are also different angles that the leg rests can be set at, which could alter your sitting position as well as how it is easy to move around.
Your medical condition will also determine your decision. Elevating legrests are at the same height, and are ideal for those who are unable to bend their legs.
