By allowing the wheelchair owner to rest their legs at an elevated position, this unique leg rest provides a more comfortable experience. The leg rest has calf pads that are made out of a thick padded foam that provides full support to your calves. In addition to comfort, this hemi-elevated leg rest will help prevent varicose veins and swelling in the legs. Sometimes the wheelchair user will want to prop up their legs, but most standard wheelchair foot-rests only offer one position, so be sure to have this spare configuration handy. This composite design provides a grip and clean finish to the leg rest.
