The other type of legrest is referred to as an articulating legrest. It differs from the standard wheelchair legrest in that it is able to be positioned at a number of angles.

The articulation changes the distance between the knee and footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be larger when it's elevated compared to when it's dropped.

The articulating legrests are more expensive due to the fact that they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more specialized.
