The legrests can be raised and lowered in a single motion. Some models include a calf cushion for extra comfort. This is particularly useful for those with weak flexion of the knee or arthritic condition as it allows them to maintain an upright (extended) position.
The other kind of legrest is called an articulating legrest and differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it can be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it a good option for those who have difficulty with the angle of their knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the footplate and knee in various positions, which means that the footplate will be longer when it is elevated compared to when it is when it is lowered.
The legrests with articulation are more expensive because they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more customized. This is because of the additional components required to power this type of legrest, such as a motor and actuator. These additional components add to the weight of the wheelchair, making it more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces.
There are two types of wheelchairs that have elevating legrests that can be lowered: swing away and center mount. Both have their pros and disadvantages but it really is a matter of individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Swing away legrests offer the advantage that they can be positioned on either side of the chair to allow greater freedom of movement but can be more vulnerable to damage because the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest where it is easily knocked over by other people or objects within the room.
The centre mount legrests are a safer choice because they are mounted in the middle of the wheelchair. electric self propelled wheelchair are also less likely to be hit. However, they don't provide as many positions and it is worth considering that the center mount could be a visual barrier for some users. If you decide to use swing away or centre mount legrests, it's important to discuss your options with a medical professional to ensure that the correct type of legrest is selected for your particular requirements.

Some leg rests have an element that swings away, which can make it easier for patients to get between and out of the wheelchair. Certain leg rests feature an adjustable, telescoping footplate that can be adapted to different leg lengths.
The kind of leg rest you choose will depend on the condition of your wheelchair. Some leg rests are motorized and others do not. There are also different angles that the leg rests are set at, which could affect your sitting position and how it is easy to move around.
Your medical condition may affect your decision. Elevating legrests are at the same height, and are ideal for those who are unable to bend their legs.
