Do the leg rests lift so that the person in it can strech their legs out?

Good Morning Shabnam,No they do not. I am not impressed with the quality of this chair. I would not recommend a purchase of it. Good Luck

No, not as far as I can tell. They do swing very easily to the side, though, and stay in place once there. The chair is as advertised- light, comfortable, easy to transport by car. Looks nice, too. :)

I received my wheelchair in Nov., 2013. Yes, my leg rests elevate into differing positions including my leg being straight out (fully elevated). The foot rests and padded rests also fold so they can be maneuvered where I want them to be (sometimes I need them out of the way completely in order to be comfortable).

Not really. The legs don't bend, neither do the arms. There is a piece of PVC pipe in each leg. I opened mine up and took it out to make it more conducive to grappling, but beware of the garbage it is stuffed with!

Yes. The base slides up allowing the legs to fold in. It upper part that clamps To the seat post does not fold up thought.

Not really. Just one Laing on back and pulling legs towards chest using the strap. But I do like strap allot for stretching hamstrings and quads.

No the legs won't fit on the leg rest without hanging over the end of the rest.

No, other than putting the leg rests on but they are meant to be removable for transport and storage.

Yes. I pull them tight but I have to allow for circulation. I had no idea the thing would be this big and heavy. I am using it by just laying it on my knee while I am lying down.

The footrest is part of the reclining position and automatically lifts when reclining. When in normal sitting position the foot rest is not operational.

Yes, the foot rests can be adjusted up or down (and the leg rests are detachable or you can swing them back as needed).

I don't know anything about regular leg rests but the swing away makes is so when I need to get out of the chair the foot rest swings away and it's easy to step out. The different sizes are for taller people. I'm short and was very happy that there was an adjustment because I was worried they were going to be too long. Hope this helped answer your question.

No it does not. And the seat and back are on the sides...does not interfere with your back or legs. The bar you see is far enough back...where chair folds that it is out of way.

Yes they are. This chair has the most versatile and functional leg rests of any we have found. We originally sought to get a chair that did a better job of elevating my mom's feet due to a sore on her heel that would not go away. Sore's all healed and Mom's in this chair about 8 hours a day.

Yes the Padded leg rest does allow you to adjust the elevation level. It does hold the level of elevation very well. I use it myself every time I am in the chair.

Yes. I just did. I have a 35 pound plate on the leg developer which holds it into place while I do 'decline' sit-ups. To do decline sit-ups you just remove the backrest bar and let the backrest sit all the way down onto the cross brace. If the leg developer moves when you try to do sit-ups you could add more weight to the leg developer or simply use a tie down strap to lock the leg developer into place by wrapping the tie down strap around the leg developer and front post [very simple to do].

Unfortunately, no. But we have a small footstool we place in front of the chair when my dad wants to stretch out. Aslide-out footrest would be a welcome addition.

I sent this chair to a friend in another state so I'm not sure but My guess would be no. I have seen chairs where the you can raise the legrest without reclining but never the opposite. I can tell you that she had trouble with the frame of chair and I asked her to return it for a replacement but she declined. The lift mechanism works fine.
