Depending on the wheelchair setup and user requirements, legrests and footplates may assist with:

• Lower limb support
• Foot positioning
• Pressure distribution
• Seating stability
• Comfort during prolonged seated use
• Everyday wheelchair function
  

Elevating Legrests and Swing-Away Options

Different wheelchair users may require different levels of support, adjustability and positioning depending on their seating and mobility needs.

Choosing the Right Wheelchair Legrest or Footplate

Selecting the right wheelchair legrest or footplate depends on the wheelchair type, user comfort requirements and seating goals. Important considerations include:

• Compatibility with the wheelchair frame

For more specialised seating or positioning requirements, Allied Medical recommends consultation with an occupational therapist or seating specialist.
