The other type of legrest is referred to as an articulating legrest and differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it is able to be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it a great option for people who experience difficulty with the angle of the knee when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be wider when it's elevated compared to when it's lowered.
The legrests with articulation are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is due to the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, including an actuator and motor. These extra parts increase the weight of the wheelchair, making it harder to maneuver in tight spaces.
There are two primary kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests; swing away and centre mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but it all comes down to your personal preference and the needs of the individual user. Swing away legrests are advantageous because they can be placed on either side of the chair to allow greater mobility, however they can be more prone to damage as the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest where it is easily knocked over by other users or by items 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 do not offer as many options for positioning and can be a barrier to certain users. It is important to talk to a healthcare professional about your options prior to choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to ensure that the best legrest is selected for your requirements.
