Never use the footplate, being it one-piece or double, as foothold while making
transfer.
The double footplates are less resistant than the one-piece footplates and thus,
they are not suitable for those users with strong spasms and/or contractions.
In the order form, according to the type of footplate, you can choose its position
(internal, external or intermediate). However, not all footplates have different
positioning.

Front frame with removable footplate

One of the characteristics of the model BASIC LIGHT consists of a
particular footplate front frame that you can swing away or completely
remove. These functions have the purpose of reducing the encumbrance
and the weight of the wheelchair as well as helping the user to get closer
to objects such as a bed or a table. It is also convenient for amputees for
whom the footplate is useless.
