Some models have an extra calf pad for comfort, however the main benefit of this kind of legrest is that it can be elevated and lowered in one movement. This is particularly beneficial for those suffering from knee flexion or arthritic conditions because it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position.

The other kind of legrest is known as an articulating or articulating legrest. It differs from the standard legrest for wheelchairs in that it can be placed at a variety of angles. This makes it an ideal option for those who struggle with knee bend when lowering or elevating the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be wider when it's elevated than when it's dropped.

The legrests with articulation are more expensive since they are powered. They can be found on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is because of the additional components needed to power this type legrest, which includes a motor and actuator. These additional components make it heavier for the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.

There are two kinds of wheelchairs with elevating legrests: swing away and center mount. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but it all depends on personal preference and the requirements of the individual user. Legrests that swing away can be put on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However, they are more susceptible to damage since the actuator is situated outside the legrest. This is the place where it is easily knocked over by other people and items 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 struck. They do not offer as many options for positioning and could be a hindrance for certain users. It is essential to speak with a healthcare professional regarding your options before choosing swing away or centre mounted legrests to make sure that the right legrest is chosen for your requirements.
