Many wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise their feet to a comfortable level for better circulation and reduced swelling. This type of legrest can be lowered and raised in a single motion. Some models include a calf cushion for extra comfort. This is particularly beneficial for those who have poor knee flexion or arthritis since it allows them to maintain a straight (extended) position.
Another type is an articulating footrest. It is different from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it is adjustable at different angles. This makes it a great option for those who struggle with knee bend when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and the footplate when it is in different locations, meaning that the footplate will be longer when it is elevated than it is lowered.
The legrests with articulation are more expensive because they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is because of the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, including an actuator and motor. Having these additional parts also adds to the overall weight of the wheelchair making it harder to maneuver especially in tight spaces.
There are two main kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have their advantages and disadvantages however it all is a matter of individual preference of the user and their needs. mymobilityscooters that swing away offer the advantage that they can be positioned at either side of the chair to allow greater freedom of movement but are more susceptible to damage since the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest, where it is easily smashed by other users or by items in the room.
Centre mount legrests provide an additional safety feature as they are fixed to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be affected. They do not offer 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 healthcare expert to ensure that the right type of legrest is chosen for your specific requirements.

The decision between an elevating leg rest and an articulated leg rest will depend on your medical condition.
