Wheelchair Footrest Comfort Pads / Footrest

Wheelchair Footrest Padding / Footrest Mitts

Definition:
Wheelchair footrest padding, also known as footrest mitts, are soft padded covers designed to fit over the footrests or footplates of a wheelchair. They provide a cushioned surface between the user’s feet and the hard metal or plastic footrest area.

Use:
These footrest pads help improve comfort and protection for wheelchair users, especially during longer periods of sitting or transport. They can reduce pressure on the feet, help protect against knocks and rubbing, and cover hard edges on the wheelchair footplates. They are useful for elderly patients, frail users, people with sensitive feet, reduced sensation, or users who may move their feet involuntarily.
