The other is an articulated footrest. It differs from a standard legrest for wheelchairs because it can be adjusted to different angles. This makes it a great choice for people who have issues with the angle of their knee when raising or lowering the footplate. The articulation alters the distance between the knee and footplate when it's in different positions. This means that the footplate will be wider when it's elevated compared to when it's lowered.
The legrests with articulation are more expensive since they are powered. They are found on wheelchairs that are more customized. This is due to the additional components required to power this type of legrest, which includes an actuator and motor.

Both have advantages and disadvantages but it really depends on your personal preference and the needs of the individual user. Swing away legrests are advantageous because they can be placed on either side of the chair to allow more freedom of movement, but can be more prone to damage as the actuator is situated on the outside of the legrest where it is easily knocked over by other users or objects within the room.
The centre mount legrests are safer as they are fixed in the middle of the wheelchair. They are also less likely to be struck. However, they do not provide as many positions and it is worth mentioning that the centre mount may be a visible obstacle for certain users.
