Wheelchair legrests are a vital accessory for wheelchair users. They offer extra support for legs and feet while seated. They are simple to attach and detach, and can be moved between different chairs, ensuring that you always have access to them if required. The standard choice of legrests for the basic and lightweight wheelchairs available at Spinlife are swing-away or elevating leg rests, both of which are suitable for most users. The swingaway legrests can be repositioned to a comfortable height and then lowered for transfers to and from a wheelchair. The elevating leg rests are suitable for anyone who requires their legs to be elevated. They are also equipped with calf pads.

Elevating legrests powered by electricity are a common feature found on a lot of wheelchairs. They allow the user to elevate their feet to a comfortable position for improved circulation and reduced swelling. This kind of legrest can be lowered and raised in a single motion. Some models come with an extra calf cushion to provide comfort. This can be especially beneficial for those suffering from knee flexion or arthritis because it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position.

The other is an footrest that is articulating. It differs from a standard wheelchair legrest because it is adjustable at various angles. This makes it a great choice for those who may have difficulty with the knee bend when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and the footplate in various positions, meaning that the footplate is larger when it is elevated compared to when it is when it is lower.

The legrests that articulate are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is due to the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, which includes an actuator and motor. Having these additional parts also increases the weight of the wheelchair making it harder to maneuver especially in tight spaces.


There are two primary kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages however it all is a matter of personal preference of the user and their needs. Legrests that swing away can be placed on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However they are more prone to damage because the actuator is located behind the legrest. My Mobility Scooters is the place where it can be easily knocked over by other people and items in the room.

Centre mount legrests offer an additional safety feature as they are fixed to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be impacted. However, they do not provide as many positions and it is also worth mentioning that the centre mount could be a visual obstruction for certain users. If you decide to use swing away or centre mount legrests, it is essential to discuss your options with a healthcare professional to ensure the right type of legrest is chosen to meet your requirements.

Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest

Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are made to distribute pressure across the legs, helping prevent the development of pressure sores. They also help improve circulation and comfort for the lower limbs, and aid in maintaining stability and balance. The padded legrests are usually installed on the front or back of the wheelchair, and have a variety adjustments. Some leg rests include an element that swings away that makes it easier for users to get in and out of the wheelchair. Others feature an adjustable footplate that can be adjusted to accommodate different lengths of legs.

The type 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 different angles, which could impact your sitting position and mobility.

The choice between an elevated leg rest and an articulated leg rest will depend on your medical conditions. Elevating legrests remain at the same height and are therefore suitable for those who cannot bend their legs. However, if you have the option to bend your legs, an articulated leg rest might be the best choice. This is because they adjust in length automatically, so you don't have to constantly adjust them manually.

If you're thinking of purchasing a wheelchair with a leg rest, we recommend that you try it out before deciding. This will help you to pick the right leg rest for you and ensure that it fits well with the wheelchair that you have chosen. You should also consult your therapist on the most appropriate wheelchair accessories for you.

We provide padded legrests for wheelchairs as an option that can be hired on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Visit our website to learn more about the wheelchairs we rent.
