Footrests, armrests and side guards

Last updated: 5 October 2026 · Total: 23 products

These parts support the limbs and protect clothes. Legrests and footplates carry the weight of the legs, and elevating versions such as the Invacare Elevating Legrests with Composite Footplates raise the lower leg when the knee cannot bend fully or swelling is a concern. Foot positioning items like Bodypoint Ankle Huggers keep the feet on the plate. Side guards, from the carbon TiLite rigid removable type to simple plastic panels, stop spray and keep jackets off the tires. Armrest pads are a common replacement once the original covering cracks.

How to choose

  • Order legrests by chair model and side, because hanger shapes and mounting pins are specific to each maker.
  • Set footplate height so the thighs rest evenly on the cushion without the knees riding up.
  • Choose removable or flip-back side guards if you transfer sideways across the wheel.
  • Measure the length and hole spacing of the old armrest pad before picking a new one.

Common questions

What are elevating legrests for?

They let the lower leg be raised and supported at an angle. They are used when a knee must stay extended, for example in a cast, or when a clinician advises keeping the legs raised.

What does a wheelchair side guard do?

It is a panel between the seat and the rear wheel. It keeps clothing and hips away from the tire, blocks water and dirt thrown up by the wheel, and gives light sideways support to the cushion.
