Many wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise their 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 include a calf cushion for extra comfort. power assisted self propelled wheelchair mymobilityscooters can be particularly helpful for those with poor knee flexion or arthritis because it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position. Another type is an footrest that is articulating. It differs from a standard wheelchair legrest because it can be adjusted at various angles. This makes it an excellent choice for people who have issues with the angle of the knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and the footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be wider when it's elevated, compared to when it's lower. As they are usually powered, the legrests with articulation do have an additional cost and as such, you'll often be attached to a higher-end wheelchair. This is due to the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, including a motor and actuator. These extra components add to the weight of the wheelchair, making it harder to maneuver in tight spaces. There are two types of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests that can be lowered: swing away and center mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages but it really depends on individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests that swing away are advantageous because they can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater freedom of movement but can be more vulnerable to damage as the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest, where it is easily knocked by other users or objects within the room. Centre mount legrests provide an alternative that is safer as they are fixed to the central section of the wheelchair and are less likely to be damaged. They do not offer as many options for positioning and could be a hindrance for some users. It is important to talk to a medical professional about your options before choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to ensure that the correct legrest is selected to meet your requirements.

There are many different types of leg rests available for wheelchairs, and selecting the right one for you will depend on your medical health. Certain leg rests come with motors, while others do not.
