This can be especially beneficial for those who suffer from poor knee flexion or arthritic conditions because it allows the user to keep an extended (knee straight) position.

The other type of legrest is referred to as an articulating or articulating legrest. It differs from the standard transit wheelchair vs self propelled legrest in that it can be positioned at a number of angles. This makes it a good choice for people who have difficulty with the angle of their knee when raising or lowering the footplate. The articulation changes the distance between the knee and the footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be longer when it's elevated compared to when it's lower.

The legrests that articulate are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more specific. This is largely due to the extra components required to power this kind of legrest such as a motor, actuator and controls. These additional components adds to the overall weight of the wheelchair making it more difficult to manoeuvre particularly in tight spaces.

Legrests with a swing can be placed on either side of the chair to provide greater mobility. However they are more susceptible to damage since the actuator is located behind the legrest. This is because it is easily knocked over by other people and other objects in the room.

Centre mount legrests provide an additional safety feature since they are fixed to the central section of the wheelchair and are less likely to be affected. They do not have as many options for positioning and can be a problem for certain users.
