| Product Summary |
|---|
The Rocking Footrest features a sturdy minimalist design and high-impact plastic construction. The simple curved base permits an effortless rocking motion of ± 25° to encourage individuals to actively engage their feet, ankles, and calves throughout the day. With no moving parts the risk of failure or damage is greatly reduced, making this foot rest a good option where simplicity and movement are important. The base also features rubber grips to keep the footrest from moving during the rocking motion. The platform is 17.7" x 13.8", sits 3.6" high when level and is textured with lateral ridges to keep feet in place.
Note: As its name suggests, the Rocking Foot Rest is considered a "non-locking" foot rest as the platform tilts freely within the available range. |
| Ergonomic Benefits |
|---|
Reduces Strain on the Foot and Ankle - Many office workers sit with one foot forward of the other, putting the foot into a position called plantar flexion. Plantar flexion shortens the muscles of the backs of the legs. Over time, sustained plantar flexion can cause the calf muscles to become tight and stiff which, in turn, can lead to a range of uncomfortable symptoms in the foot. The non-locking platform on the Rocking Footrest permits individuals to flex the ankle joint easily in a back and forth rocking motion. This healthy movement at the joint can reduce strain caused by sustained plantar flexion, or sustained dorsiflexion. The frequent small movements also promote better circulation, helping to reduce the risk of blood clots and varicose veins.
Reduces Strain on Lower Thighs - Circulation around the lower thighs can be impeded when a person is sitting on a seatpan without sufficient support for the lower legs and feet. The weight of the lower legs and feet can create a pinch point towards the front of the seatpan, which in turn can reduce blood flow in the lower lower legs, potentially leading to overall pain and fatigue in the lower thighs and legs. This often happens because the chair is too high. Foot rests like the Rocking Footrest help reduce this strain by supporting the feet on a raised platform, thereby allowing blood to circulate better throughout the legs and feet.
Improves Upper Body Posture - The Rocking Footrest provides a stable and supportive surface that encourages correct utilizations of chair backrests rather than "perching" on the front edge of the seat. This improved posture can reduce the risk of upper back, shoulder and neck pain. The movement range of the Rocking Footrest ensures that even those of shorter stature can reap these benefits.

| Usage Tips |
|---|
- Take advantage of the movement available on the Rocking Footrest. Change your feet position on a regular basis by moving them and changing the foot rest angle. This engages the calf muscles and encourages circulation - beneficial to the entire body. It will also ensure that your body moves through a wider range of positioning and should help avoid tightness from maintaining a single sustained position.
- Once your foot rest is correctly positioned make a point of sitting back in your chair and letting the backrest provide your back with the appropriate support. Not only is this good for the health of your back - it will also be more restful and has the potential to significantly reduce the risk of developing lower back pain due to poor posture. It may well also result in a more relaxed back, neck and shoulders with an accompanying reduction in end-of-day fatigue.
- After your chair and foot rest are correctly positioned ensure that appropriate adjustments are made to your monitor height. If you move from a "perching" posture to sitting back in your chair with correct upright posture you will most likely need to elevate your monitor since your head will be elevated and your line of sight will naturally follow suit.
- Take advantage of the movement available on the Ergo Plus Foot Rest. Change your feet position on a regular basis by moving them and changing the foot rest angle. This engages the calf muscles and encourages circulation - beneficial to the entire body. It will also ensure that your body moves through a wider range of positioning and should help avoid tightness from a single sustained position.
