Heavy User Wheelchair Elevated Leg Rest The Titus Heavy Duty Wheelchair With Elevating Legrests is designed for those with bariatric issues who require leg rests. It is built with strong frame that can support larger frames. This wheelchair is ideal for those with larger requirements. It comes with the capacity of a seat that is 30 inches wide with the weight limit is 700lbs, a sturdy slide-tube silver vein steel frame, and swing-away detachable feet plates. A lot of wheelchairs have powered elevating legrests that permit the user to raise their feet to a comfortable height for better circulation and reduced swelling. Some models come with a calf pad for added comfort, but the main advantage of this type of legrest is that it can be elevated and lowered in one movement. This can be particularly helpful for those suffering from knee flexion or arthritis as it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position. The other type is an articulated footrest. It differs from a standard wheelchair legrest because it can be adjusted at various angles. This makes it a great option for those who struggle with knee flexure when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and the footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be longer when it's elevated, compared to when it's lower. Because they are powered, the legrests that articulate do have an additional cost, and as such, you'll often see them attached to a higher-end wheelchair. This is due to the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, which includes motors, actuators and controls. These additional components make it heavier for the wheelchair, making it more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. There are two types of wheelchairs with elevating legrests, swing away and centre mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages and it comes down to the individual preference of the user and their needs. Swing away legrests can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is situated outside the legrest. This is where it is susceptible to being thrown over by other users and objects in the room. The centre mount legrests are a safer option as they are fixed in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be hit. They do not have as many options for positioning and can be a problem for some users. If My Mobility Scooters opt for swing away or centre mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a healthcare professional to ensure the right kind of legrest is chosen to meet your requirements. Standard Wheelchair with Elevated Leg Rest Standard wheelchairs with leg rests are made to redistribute pressure from the legs, helping prevent the development of pressure sores. They also help improve circulation and comfort for lower limbs as well as aid in maintaining balance and stability. The padded legrests are generally placed on the back or front of the wheelchair and have a variety adjustment features. Some leg rests have an option to swing away that can make it easier to transfer into and out of the wheelchair. Some also have a telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to accommodate different lengths of legs. There are many different kinds of leg rests for wheelchairs, and choosing the right one for you will depend on your medical situation. Some leg rests have motors, while others are manual. There are also different angles that the leg rests are placed at, which will affect your sitting posture and how it is easy to move around. The decision between an elevating leg rest or an articulated leg rest will depend on your medical conditions. Legrests that are elevated remain at the same height and are therefore suitable for those who cannot bend their legs. If you are able bend your legs then an articulated legrest could be the best choice for you. They will automatically adjust the length, so you won't need to adjust them manually. We recommend that you test the wheelchair before making the decision. This will help you pick the right leg rest for your needs and ensure that it fits perfectly with the wheelchair you have chosen.
