Legrests that are powered elevating are a common feature found on a variety of wheelchairs. They enable the user to raise their feet to a comfortable position to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models come with a calf pad for added comfort, but the primary benefit of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and then lowered in a single movement. This is particularly beneficial for those who have poor knee flexion or arthritic condition as it allows them to maintain an upright (extended) position.
The other is an articulating footrest. It is different from a standard wheelchair legrest because it is adjustable at various angles. This makes it a great choice for those who may struggle with knee flexure angle when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation alters 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 than when it's lowered.
The legrests that articulate are more expensive since they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more customized. This is largely due to the additional components needed to power this type of legrest such as an actuator, motor and controls. These extra parts make it heavier for the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.
There are two types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have pros and cons however it all depends on the individual preference of the user and their needs. Legrests with a swing can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage due to the fact that the actuator is located outside the legrest. This is the place where it is easily knocked over by other people and other objects in the room.
The centre mount legrests are safer as they are fixed in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be struck. They do not have as many options for positioning and could be a hindrance for some users. Whether you choose swing away or centre mount legrests it is important to discuss your options with a medical professional to ensure that the correct type of legrest is chosen to meet your needs.

Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are made to redistribute pressure from the legs, helping prevent the development of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for the lower limbs as well as help maintain stability and balance. The padded legrests are typically installed on the front or back of the wheelchair and include a range of options for adjustment. Some leg rests have the ability to swing away, which can make it easier to transfer into and out of a wheelchair. Some also have an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to fit different leg lengths.
The kind of leg rest you select will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Certain leg rests come with motors and others don't. Leg rests can also be adjusted to various angles, which may affect your sitting posture and mobility.
The decision between an elevating leg rest and an articulating leg rest will also depend on your medical needs. Elevating leg rests are at the same level and therefore are good for those who cannot bend their legs. However, if you have the option to bend your legs, then an articulated leg rest might be better. They will automatically adjust the length, so you won't need to adjust them manually.
