The Freestanding Single Leg Rest from Score is a customizable mobile support for those who may need to keep their leg elevated while sitting. Potential applications include post-surgery elevation in order to relieve knee and foot pain, to decrease blood pooling in the lower extremities, to reduce pressure on the spine or to decrease fatigue.
This leg rest is equipped with a 5-point base which allows it to remain upright without the need to attach it to any other furniture. The leg rest supports one leg at a time, either beside or underneath the desk. The leg rest is equipped with resilient foam padding, to keep the foot, knee and hip properly aligned while comfortably elevating the foot and leg. The 2" thick concave pad is 10" wide and 16" long, with slightly elevated sides keep the leg in position. The pad surface is large enough to comfortably cradle even a heavily swollen leg and is upholstered with soft leatherette that offers a comfortable and easily cleanable surface. The base is just under 20" in diameter to minimize interference with the second leg and foot.
Elevation of the Freestanding Single Leg Rest is accomplished by a low-pressure gas spring with lever release. Height is adjustable from 14" to 19.5" and the leg pad can be angled up to 15° from horizontal and locks in at any point within the range. While the Freestanding Leg Rest can be used in most settings, because the base does have a diameter of 20" this should be taken under consideration when determining whether there will be sufficient space.
A Double Leg Rest is also available if lower extremity elevation of both legs is required. | Ergonomic Benefits |
---|
Support for Leg and Foot - The Freestanding Single Leg Rest is intended to act as an assistive therapeutic device. Leg rests are typically employed temporarily by those returning to work after injury or surgery. However, in the case of those with circulatory problems they may also become a permanent solution. The leg rest pad can be tilted to align the leg to an ideal ergonomic angle. Some conditions which may benefit from the Freestanding Leg Rest include Knee Injuries, Bunion Removals, Back Pain, Varicose Veins, Edema, Heavy Leg Syndrome, Neuromuscular Disorders, Trauma, Pregnancy, Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, Side Effects of Certain Medications.
Increases Blood Flow and Circulation - The Freestanding Single Leg Rest can assist in maintaining appropriate blood flow and circulation in the lower extremities. However, using the leg rest for extended periods may lead to decreased blood flow and circulation as a result of the non-standard seating position that the elevation of the leg can create. Unless directed otherwise by medical service providers it may be a good idea to occasionally remove the leg from the pad and adopt a more traditional sitting position, even if only for short periods.
Enhances Productivity and Overall Comfort - Working in a semi-reclined position or with the feet elevated as required throughout the workday can adjust the strain on other muscles in the body and decrease fatigue. This can yield increased comfort by offering varied seating postures and potentially reduce the impact of discomfort on work performance.

- Height Adjustable: The leg rest pad can be adjusted in height from 14" to 19.5" when level. This range is suited to the majority of persons.
- Adjustable Tilt: The tilt of the leg rest pad locks at any position between 0° and 15°. This lets each person select the angle that best suits their needs at any time and ensures that the leg remains at the necessary angle.
- Cushioned Support: Foam padding provides comfortable but firm support which quickly springs back to shape.
- Comfortable and Cleanable Cover Options: The furniture fabric option breathes better than the leatherette covering. This aids in preventing hotspots and sweating. However, the leatherette-covered pads are more easily cleaned and disinfected.
- Safety Lock Casters: The Freestanding Single Leg Rest is equipped with casters that engage a safety lock when weight is removed (i.e. when the weight of the leg is no longer applied to the rest). This ensures that the Leg Rest cannot roll out of reach, which is especially important for those who would have difficulty retrieving it.
- Versatile and Mobile Design: The Freestanding Single Leg Rest is equipped to be self-supporting and move independent of any other furniture. As a result it is possible to make small positioning adjustments with nominal effort, changing positions to optimize comfort throughout the day.
