Wheelchair leg rests are an easy but essential item for many wheelchair users, since they provide extra support to the legs and feet while 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. Legrests are available in two different styles on basic and lightweight Spinlife wheelchairs that can be elevated or swing away legrests. Both are suitable for the majority of users. The swingaway legrests are a great choice for a lot of people because they can be raised to a level that is comfortable and reduced for transfers into and out of the wheelchair. The elevating leg rests are suitable for anyone who requires their legs to be elevated and come complete with calf pads.
Heavy User Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated
The Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair With Elevating Legrests is designed for bariatric users who need leg rests. It has strong frame that can support larger frames. This wheelchair is perfect for those with bigger requirements. It has a seat up to 30 inches wide and the weight limit is 700lbs, a heavy-duty slide-tube silver vein steel frame and a swing-away feet plate that can be detached.
Many wheelchairs come with powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise their feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and reduce swelling. The legrests can be adjusted and raised in a single motion. Some models include an extra calf cushion to provide comfort. This can be particularly helpful for those suffering from knee flexion or arthritic issues since it permits the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position.
The other type of legrest is referred to as an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it is able to be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it an ideal option for those who struggle with knee flexure when lowering or elevating 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 wider when it's elevated compared to when it's dropped.
The legrests with articulation are more expensive since they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is because of the additional components required to power this type of legrest, such as a motor and actuator. These extra components increase the weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.
There are two kinds of wheelchairs that come with elevating legrests that can be lowered: swing away and center mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and it is a matter of individual preference of the user and their needs. Legrests that swing away 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 behind the legrest. This is because it can be easily knocked over by other users and items in the room.
Centre mount legrests provide a safer alternative since they are fixed to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be affected. They don't have as many options for positioning, and may be a problem for some users. It is important to talk with a healthcare professional regarding your options prior to choosing swing away or centrally mounted legrests so that you can be sure that the best legrest is chosen for your needs.
Standard Wheelchair with Elevated leg Rest
Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are designed to help distribute pressure between the legs, which helps in preventing the development of pressure sores. They can also help with improved circulation and comfort in the lower limbs as well as helping to maintain balance and stability. The padding leg rests are generally installed to the front or rear of the wheelchair and come with a variety of adjustment features. Some leg rests come with the ability to swing away, which makes it easier to move from and into a wheelchair. Some also have the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to accommodate different lengths of legs.
The type of leg rest you pick will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests have motors, while others are manual. Leg rests can also be adjusted to different angles, which could alter your sitting position and mobility.
electric self propelled wheelchair will also affect your decision. Elevating leg rests stay at the same elevation and are a good choice for those who are unable bend their legs. However, if you have the option of bending your legs, an articulated leg rest might be better. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, which means you don't have to keep adjusting them manually.
We recommend that you test the wheelchair prior to making the decision. This will allow you to pick the right leg rest for you and ensure that it fits well with the wheelchair that you've chosen. You should also talk to your therapist about the best wheelchair accessories for you.
