Power Leg Rests or a Power-Articulating Foot Platform
Electric lifting leg rest or electric articulated foot platform (also known as AFP) is another key component, and it is necessary whenever an electric tilt angle is used. It can lift both legs when the electric recliner is moving, ensure proper body movement, and prevent the pelvis from sliding forward when using the recliner. In addition, some patients with leg swelling or edema need electric leg lifting rest or AFP. Raise the legs, tilt and tilt at the same time, so that the feet are 12 inches higher than the heart to achieve circulation and lymphatic reflux. There are other reasons for this part, including changing the position of the hips and knees to prevent contracture or adapt to lower limb contracture, if present. In addition, the ability to lift and lower the legs can improve wheelchair users' access to the environment by keeping the seat height low enough to enter under the table and allowing the pedal to move when navigating the ramp and threshold.
