Elevating legrests powered by electricity are a standard feature on a variety of wheelchairs. They let the user elevate their feet to a comfortable position to improve circulation and reduce swelling. This kind of legrest can be raised and lowered by a single movement. Some models include an extra calf cushion to provide comfort. This is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from poor knee flexion or arthritic issues because it allows the user to maintain an extended (knee straight) position.
The other kind of legrest is called an articulating legrest and differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it is able to be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it a great option for people who experience trouble with the angle of the knee when raising or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be larger when it's elevated than when it's lower.
The legrests that articulate are more expensive since they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more specialized. This is largely due to the extra components required to power this kind of legrest, which includes motors, actuators and controls. Having these additional parts also adds to the overall weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver particularly in tight spaces.
There are two main kinds of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests: swing away and centre mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages but it really depends on personal preference and the requirements of the individual user. Legrests with a swing can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more prone to damage because the actuator is located just outside the legrest. This is where it is susceptible to being thrown over by other people and items in the room.
Centre mount legrests offer an additional safety feature because they are attached to the central part of the wheelchair and are less likely to be affected. However, they do not provide as many positions and it is also worth considering that the centre mount can be a visual obstruction for certain users. It is important to talk to a healthcare professional about your options before choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to ensure that the best legrest is chosen for your requirements.

Some leg rests have a swing-away component that makes it easier for patients to get between and out of the wheelchair. Others feature the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to fit different lengths of legs.
