Another type is an footrest that is articulating. It is different from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it can be adjusted at various angles. This makes it an ideal choice for those who may have difficulty with the knee bend when lifting or lowering the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and footplate in various locations, meaning that the footplate will be longer when it is elevated than when it is when it is lowered. The legrests that articulate are more expensive since they are powered. They are available on wheelchairs that are more customized.

Both have advantages and disadvantages, but it ultimately is a matter of individual preference and the needs of the individual user. Legrests with a swing can be placed on either side of the chair for greater mobility. However they are more susceptible to damage because the actuator is situated behind the legrest. This is where it is susceptible to being thrown over by other people and items in the room. Centre mount legrests offer an alternative that is safer as they are fixed to the center of the wheelchair and are less likely to be impacted.
