{"title":"Swing","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSwing-Away Wheelchairs \u0026amp; Footrests\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word \"swing\" here points to one of the most practical features on a manual wheelchair: swing-away footrests and legrests that pivot out of the path so a user can stand, transfer, or roll close to a bed or toilet without fighting the front rigging. This collection brings together full wheelchairs equipped with that feature plus the swing-away hardware itself, so you can either buy the complete chair or replace a footrest that's worn or missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the chair side, you'll find dependable everyday models like the \u003cstrong\u003eDrive Blue Streak\u003c\/strong\u003e in 16- and 20-inch seats, the flip-back-arm \u003cstrong\u003eDrive Chrome Sport\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the lightweight \u003cstrong\u003eCruiser III\u003c\/strong\u003e rated up to 350 pounds for higher-capacity needs. The \u003cstrong\u003eMedline Guardian K1\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs swing-back desk-length armrests with swing-away footrests, useful when a user needs to pull up to a desk or dining table. Seat widths across the range run from 16 to 26 inches, and most chairs feature flip-back, removable padded arms that make side transfers easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFootrests vs. Elevating Legrests\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard swing-away footrest supports the foot at a fixed angle and is right for most users. An elevating legrest, like the Drive Blue Streak model with swing-away elevating legs, raises and supports the full lower leg — helpful for edema, circulation concerns, or post-surgical recovery. Both styles detach after swinging clear, which is what allows a clean transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing a Swing-Away Footrest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you only need the part, check compatibility carefully. The \u003cstrong\u003edrive plastic-footplate swing-away footrest\u003c\/strong\u003e fits the Blue Streak, Silver Sport 1 and 2, Cruiser III, Cirrus IV, Viper, and Viper Plus GT, while the \u003cstrong\u003edrive swing-away elevating legrests\u003c\/strong\u003e ship as a pair for models listed in their fit notes. Match the hardware to your exact chair model before ordering, since coupling angles vary between manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more mobility options in our Wheelchairs category.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/honestmed.com\/collections\/swing.oembed","provider":"Honest Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
