| Product Summary |
|---|
The Innovative Footrest from Aidata incorporates all the important aspects of an ergonomic foot rest into a simple, graceful design. The frame, supports and platform are made with sturdy, high-impact plastic and the rubber pads on the supports keep the foot rest in place beneath the desk. The Innovative Footrest is available in two styles. The platform on model FR-1002RG is covered with textured rubber to prevent the footwear from slipping on its surface. For greater comfort, especially when used without footwear, Model FR-1002SG features a padded foam surface with a breathable mesh cover. Both models provide users with a large surface approximately 16" wide by 10.5" deep. The platform is also height-adjustable between 3.5", 4.5" & 5.5" high, and is non-locking to allow users to vary the platform angle ±15° as desired. |
| Ergonomic Benefits |
|---|
Reduces Strain on Lower Thighs - Blood 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 will create a pinch point towards the front of the seatpan, and this will reduce blood flow in the lower thighs, causing overall pain and fatigue in the lower thighs and legs. This often happens because the chair is too high. Foot rests like the Innovative Footrest help reduce this strain by supporting the feet on a raised platform, thereby allowing blood to circulate better throughout the legs and feet.
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 Innovative Footrestpermits users to flex the ankle joint easily back and forth. 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 Innovative Footrest provides users with a stable and supportive surface that encourages them to correctly utilize the back of their chair 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 movement range of the Innovative Footrest ensures that even those of shorter stature can reap these benefits.

| Usage Tips |
|---|
- Make an effort to determine your correct height. Ensure that your feet are supported at a height suitable to your position in the chair when you are sitting upright. You should be able to rest your feet on the footrest without tilting the chair forward or having to stretch for the footrest. Alternatively, it should not be too high as this can which can lift the thighs off the seatpan of the chair.
