Heavy User Wheelchair Elevated Leg Rest The design is specifically for bariatric wheelchair users who require leg rests the Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair with Elevating Leg Rests offers a sturdy frame that can support larger frame dimensions.

Powered elevating legrests are a common feature found on a variety of wheelchairs. They allow the user to raise their feet to a comfortable position to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Some models include an calf pad to provide comfort, however the main advantage of this type of legrest is that it can be raised and lowered in a single motion. This is particularly beneficial for those suffering from knee flexion or arthritic issues because it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position. The other type is an articulated footrest. It is different from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it can be adjusted to different angles. This makes it a good option for those who have difficulty with the angle of the knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation works by changing the distance between the knee and the footplate when it is in different locations, meaning that the footplate is larger when it is elevated than when it is lowered. The legrests with articulation are more expensive since they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is because of the additional components required to power this type of legrest, which includes a motor and actuator. These extra parts make it heavier for the wheelchair, making it harder 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 but it really is a matter of personal preference and the requirements of the individual user. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more prone to damage due to the fact that the actuator is located behind the legrest. This is because it is easily knocked over by other users and objects in the room. Centre mount legrests are an additional safety feature since they are fixed to the center of the wheelchair and are less likely to be affected. However, they don't offer as many positioning options and it is worth mentioning that the centre mount may be a visible barrier for some users. If you opt for the swing away or centre mount legrests it is important to discuss your options with a healthcare expert to ensure that the right type of legrest is selected for your particular requirements. Standard Wheelchair with Leg Rests Elevated Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are designed to help distribute pressure between the legs, helping to prevent the formation of pressure sores. They can also improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs, and help maintain stability and balance. The padded legrests are generally fitted to the front or back of the wheelchair and include a range of adjustments. Some leg rests have a swing-away feature that makes it easier to transfer into and out of a wheelchair. Others feature the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to fit different lengths of legs. The kind of leg rest you select will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized, while others are manual. There are different angles that the leg rests can be set at, which can alter your sitting position as well as how it is easy to move around. Your medical condition may influence your choice. Legrests that are elevated remain at the same height, and are ideal for those who are unable to bend their legs. If you are able to bend your legs, an articulated legrest may be better for you. This is because they will adjust in length automatically, meaning you don't need to keep adjusting them manually. We recommend that you test the wheelchair before making your decision. This will allow you to choose the right leg rest that is suitable for you and ensure that it is compatible perfectly with the wheelchair you've selected. It is also advisable to consult with your therapist prior to deciding on any wheelchair accessories, since they will be able to provide you with the most suitable options for you.
