This makes it an excellent option for those who have trouble with the angle of their knee when lowering or raising the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the footplate and knee when it is in different positions, meaning that the footplate will be longer when it is elevated than when it is when it is lower.

This is largely because of the additional components needed to power this kind of legrest, which includes an actuator, motor and controls. These extra components increase the weight of the wheelchair, making it difficult to maneuver through tight spaces.
