confusing description, is it swing away leg rest or elevating leg rest --- both are mentioned ?

Most of the Drive Medical wheelchairs come with varying options. Do not rely on the picture, they show one of many configurations. The model ending in -ELR means it has an elevating leg rest.

There are suggestions for legs while seated but they're cumbersome. The normal exercises have you standing or stepping onto the low platform you see in the picture. Just looked at the other answer and don't remember a bicycle option. I broke my wrist in a fall last year and put the chair away then,

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

It is a 20 degree angle and I elevate for the same reason I elevate a treadmill. It changes the type of workout and allows me to use it more like a stepper or an elevated treadmill. Always be certain to us this product on a non-slippery surface when elevated.

The foot rest folds up toward the seat. It gets out of the way for getting in and out of the chair, but is a bit awkward compared to a traditional chair foot rest.

the back reclines and the leg rest pops up. You can hold it in any position in between.

You are sitting upright. The other responses that say you can recline are false, you can only slouch in this thing if you want a different angle. It's not an office chair, it's an outdoor swing.

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.

The back lays back to 3 different angles. One almost straight up and down. One 45 degrees and the third flat. There is no foot rest that pops out.

Swing away means you can move them to the side so the person in the chair can stand up easily, without them in the way. I have no idea about the different sizes but this is a really nice chair.

I real don't know because I have to use my leg rests, the cushion is very heavy and it does not slide around on me. I like it every much. I hope this will help you some.

The foot rests can be adjusted to the height you want, if you have short legs or tall legs and they move out from side to side to open up but they don't raise up and down so your legs can be raised up in the air.

Sitting slightly reclined, while pedaling, the leg and hip muscles are engaged vigorously. I'm sure the abdominal muscles are slightly engaged, but not vigorously as there is no "push and pull" with your arms.

Here's the response to your question from Medline Online Customer Service: Hello, It is not. we do not have elevating legrests for the transport chairs. Service@Medline.com SH Medline Industries, Inc.

You have to use your legs to hold yourself in position (per the picture), and in-terms of relaxing that's up to the user I guess, I find it more therapeutic (traction) for the back than a relaxation position. Use at your own risk but this is my experience... I received lessons on how to use before attempting anything on it.

I suppose by adjusting back legs differently . the point is for ease of leaving chair . it is a gentle tilt barely noticed.

It will be all "flat" when back reclined and legs elevated. Cheap leg-rests? It's standard for all wheelchairs -- easy to clean/sanitize. I take it outside and spray it with the hose after treating it with Clorox. I use special cover for leg-rests. Indeed, you can elevate legs higher if put pillow under knees.
