The Pro 952 Footrest from Score is a sturdy, adjustable footrest with a heavy metal base and a large, plastic foot platform with raised ridges. The Pro 952 can be adjusted with a single foot by means of a large button located at the rear of the platform. The feet are easily able to identify and activate the button to make necessary height adjustments. The non-locking mechanism on the platform permits tilting from 0° to 87°, encouraging movement of the feet and ankles, and letting individuals find the most comfortable inclination. Rubber feet on the unit ensure stable, slip-proof positioning. The large size and wide range of height adjustment make the Pro 952 Footrest ideal for flex workstations where individuals with varying needs will be working.
If a larger footrest with similar features is desired the Score Pro 959 Footrest could be considered.
Caution: The Pro 952 should not be used as a foot stool. Do not stand on the footrest. This product uses a powerful spring mechanism. Adjust the height only with the foot. | | Ergonomic Benefits |

Encourages Proper Circulation - Blood circulation around the lower thighs can be impeded when workers sit on a seatpan without sufficient support for the lower legs and feet. The weight of the lower extremities can create a pinch point towards the front of the seatpan, and this has the potential to reduce blood flow in the lower thighs, resulting in pain and fatigue in the lower thighs and legs. This often happens when the chair is too high. The Pro 952 Footrest can reduce or eliminate this strain by providing a suitably elevated platform that addresses this potential for restrictive pressure, allowing blood to circulate better throughout the legs and feet.
Reduces Strain on the Foot and Ankle - Many office workers will position one foot forward of the other while seated, putting the foot into a position called plantar flexion. Plantar flexion can lead to shortening of the calf muscles. Over time, sustained plantar flexion can cause them 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 Pro 952 Footrest encourages regular and effortless flexing of the ankle joint. 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.
Improves Upper Body Posture - The Pro 952 Footrest provides a stable and supportive surface which encourages workers to correctly utilize their chair backrests rather than "perching" on the front edge of their seat. This improved posture can reduce the risk of upper back, shoulder and neck pain. The adjustable height on the Pro 952 ensures that even those of shorter stature can reap these benefits.
Discourages "Passive" Sitting - The non-locking platform on the Pro 952 Footrest encourages workers to actively flex and move the feet and ankles throughout the day.
Reduces Negative Effects of Prolonged Sitting - By properly supporting the feet and legs, a footrest takes the pressure off the backs of the thighs and relieves strain on the lower back.

- Position your chair to the appropriate height prior to adjusting your footrest. This will ensure that you are able to properly access your worksurface. Once your seating height is selected, then adjust the footrest to a height that positions your knees slightly below your hips. The height should be sufficient to ensure that there are no pressure points against the back of the thighs at the edge of your seat.
- Employ the tilting footrest to regularly flex your ankles and lower legs. This will encourage circulation in the feet and calves and ensures that you do not sit statically for too long a stretch. Doing this will also ensure that you do not keep your feet and ankles in sustained plantar flexion or dorsiflexion.
- As the Pro 952 Footrest employs a coil spring for lifting assistance ensure that you are careful to activate it only when there is sufficient pressure being exerted on the footplate to keep it from "springing" up.
