The other is an articulating footrest. It differs from a standard wheelchair legrest because it is adjustable at various angles. This makes it an excellent choice for people who have trouble with the angle of the knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and footplate when in different positions. This means that the footplate will be larger when it's elevated compared to when it's dropped.

These extra parts add to the weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.
