• Fixed footrests can be cumbersome when transferring
to and from the chair.
• Swing-away footrests solve the problem of
the fixed types as they can be moved out of the way to help transferring.
• Detachable footrests, like detachable wheels
reduce the size and weight of the chair during transportation or storage.
• One piece footrests make the frame more rigid
but can also impede transferral to and from the chair.
• Elevating footrests as the name suggests are
useful for users who require their legs to be kept straight or raised
for longer periods.
