Do the foot rest's come off? I have M.S and like to use my good leg to push and pull myself around.

Yes, they do, but I have not taken them off, so cannot attest to the ease or difficulty of so doing. I really like the chair. Very comfortable and moves easily.

Well, I've never used it that way but you could use it to pull the bottom part of the leg opening over your foot I would think. Its kind of long to use to pull them all the way up.

Hi Doris, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! Yes, the foot rests are removable.

Soon after posting my previous, my right foot came out during exercise. Oh well, pride cometh before a fall. I have an old pair of beach sandels with double velcro closures. I attached them to the pedals with the pedal velcro across the top of the sole. Works great.

You shouldn't have any problem with it moving. Mine doesn't. It is very comfortable. I'm glad I got them!

If the foot rest is set properly it rights back up by simply moving your arms back to in front of you. Very easy once it is set.

When you pull up on the lever on the leftside of chair you use your leg or the heels of your feet to push down and back on the leg rest to place the leg rest in a position you like. I hope this helps. I love my chair.

Not bad. The foot rest seems pretty strong. I haven't used it to sit for hours.

I think so, Marc. I think I would have been frustrated and therefore remember if they hadn't. These are just for foot positioning on the pedals BTW. There's no opportunity to actually pull up on the pedals. I use them on a recumbent to ensure my feet don't slide off the pedals. They're great for that purpose.

U need to take off the boot. There is a rubber top with a hole in it. Slides your foot inside and it suck around your leg.

yes, a object rolls the length of the foot in a pattern. It also squeezes the legs, which I don't have a problem with, but some people think it is too tight. You will need the lift the leg supports via the computer console so your legs and feet all fit comfortly.Jessica

Gives good support to your calf, not so much for you knee. It does keep everything warm. I use them when I officiate basketball. It helps my legs recover a lot faster. Since I have worn them this season I have not had any muscle pulls. Fingers crossed!

I guess first position is chair goes back(back of the chair touches the floor) and foot rest extends out. Then you can push back further on the back of the chair for a more horizontal position but the foot rest doesn't move anymore. Your legs will always be sticking out unless you are just sitting upright in the chair.

es, you just need to take off the removable leg rests which very easily remove by swinging them to the side after you release them with the hinged latch at the top, inside connection of the leg rests. Very easy, I highly recommend. You can also pop off the armrests which make it lighter, but you don't have to. I also have the aluminum model, which is even lighter.

I bought these for my parents so I'm not able to check to be exactly sure but I believe you pull that black level on the side by the armrest to release the footrest and then push back. Then if I recall to release the footrest you pull the lever again and push down with your legs. Wasn't difficult at all. I hope that helps!

You would need tools to remove them. They don't just pop on and off. The foot rests come off easily, though.
