Wheelchair footrests and legrests are adjustable or fixed platforms designed to support a user’s feet and legs while seated in a wheelchair. They provide comfort, stability, and prevent leg fatigue by keeping the lower limbs elevated or off the ground, which is especially important for long-term use or mobility assistance.
These devices are typically classified as medical equipment and may require compliance with accessibility and safety standards depending on the jurisdiction. They are often sold as standalone attachments or integrated into wheelchair frames, with variations in adjustability, padding, and mounting options to suit different user needs.
