Powered elevating legrests are a common feature found on a variety of wheelchairs. They enable the user to elevate their feet to a comfortable level to improve circulation and reduce swelling. This kind of legrest can be adjusted and raised by a single movement. Some models come with the option of a calf-strap cushion for added comfort. This can be especially beneficial for those suffering from knee flexion or arthritic conditions because it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position.
The other type of legrest is known as an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it can be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it a great option for those who be struggling with knee flexure angle when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and footplate when it is in different positions, which means that the footplate is longer when it is elevated than it is when it is lowered.
The articulating legrests are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more customized. This is largely due to the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, which includes an actuator, motor and controls. Having these additional parts also adds weight to the overall weight of the wheelchair, making it more difficult to manoeuvre especially in tight spaces.
There are two kinds of wheelchairs with elevating legrests such as swing away and center mount. Both have pros and cons, but it depends on the individual preference of the user and their needs. Legrests that swing away have the advantage that they can be positioned on either side of the chair to allow greater freedom of movement but are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest where it is easily knocked by other users or by items within the room.
The centre mount legrests are a safer choice because they are mounted in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be struck. They do not have as many options for positioning and can be a hindrance for some users. Whether you choose to swing away or center mount legrests it is important to discuss your options with a medical expert to ensure that the right type of legrest is chosen to meet your needs.

Some leg rests come with an element that swings away which makes it easier for patients to move into and out of the wheelchair. Some have the telescoping footplate, which can be adjusted to fit different lengths of legs.
There are a number of different kinds of leg rests available for wheelchairs, and choosing the right one for you will depend on your medical situation. Some leg rests are motorized however others don't. There are also different angles that the leg rests can be set at, which could alter your sitting position as well as how easy it is to move around.
