The present invention is a padded cover that prevents a wheelchair user's legs from coming into contact with a wheelchair footrest units' hinges when the footrest units are removed from the chair. The padded cover mounts onto the frame of a wheelchair directly over the hinges which hold the footrest units to the chair. The padded cover includes a rectangular board which is covered with padding on all of its surfaces. The padded cover is further covered with a durable outer covering. Attached to one side of the padded board are at least one fastening means which fasten the padded board to the tubular frame of the wheelchair directly over the exposed hinges. The padded cover protects the wheelchair user's legs and prevents injury caused by the user's legs coming into contact with the footrest unit hinges.
