The standard legrests on the basic and lightweight wheelchairs sold at Spinlife are the swingaway or elevating leg rests both of which are suitable for the majority of users. The legrests that swing away are a great choice for a lot of people because they can be elevated to a height that is comfortable, and then reduced for transfers into and out of the wheelchair.

Many wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that allow the user to raise their feet to a comfortable level for better circulation and less swelling. This kind of legrest can be raised and lowered with one motion. Some models come with a calf cushion for extra comfort. This can be especially beneficial for those with poor knee flexion or arthritis because it allows the user to maintain an extended (knee straight) position.
The other type of legrest is referred to as an articulating legrest and differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it is able to be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it an ideal option for those who struggle with knee flexure angle when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and the footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be wider when it's elevated than when it's lowered.
The articulating legrests are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is due to the additional parts needed to power this type legrest, such as a motor and actuator. Having these additional parts also adds weight to the overall weight of the chair, making it difficult to maneuver especially in tight spaces.
There are two kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages, but it all depends on your personal preference and the needs of the individual user. My Mobility Scooters are advantageous because they can be positioned on either side of the chair to provide more freedom of movement, but can be more vulnerable to damage because the actuator is located on the outside of the legrest, where it is easily smashed by other people or objects within the room.
Centre mount legrests provide an additional safety feature because they are attached to the central section of the wheelchair and are less likely to be impacted. However, they do not provide as many options for positioning and it is worth considering that the center mount could be a visual barrier for certain users. Whether you choose swing away or centre mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a healthcare professional to ensure that the correct kind of legrest is chosen for your particular requirements.

Some leg rests have an element that swings away which makes it easier for people to move between and out of the wheelchair. Others feature a telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to suit different leg lengths.
