Solid footrests:

The footrests can carry up to 100 kg each and are height and side adjustable. The side adjustable feature makes access to intimate hygiene possible and it ensures that bariatric users with adipose tissue on the inside of the thighs can sit in the wheelchair with legs apart (up to 110 cm) and still have foot support.
