Adjustable FootRest, Desk Footrest with Massage Function Great for Home & Office
What Is a Foot Rest?
When sitting at a desk, a foot rest provides support for the feet, redistributing the weight of your body and allowing you to adjust the angle of your knees, hips and ankles for comfort or pain reduction. It can also help stabilize your lower extremities. These adjustments, while seemingly small, can change the pressure distribution in your hips and spine, contributing to improved ergonomics and reduced pain.
Foot Rest Benefits in Desk Ergonomics
Usually, when someone sits at a desk, it’s for long periods of time. Research shows prolonged desk sitting is associated with negative health outcomes due to many factors that affect the entire body—not just musculoskeletal alignment. However, alignment of the spine and joints can contribute to problems, most notably fatigue and low back pain. Often, pain can be relieved by adjusting your desk ergonomics to optimize positions that best relieve the body of unnecessary and unwanted stress points.
When it comes to proper desk ergonomics, it’s best for a person to sit with both feet planted on the ground, knees and hips bent at 90 degrees, eyes pointed directly forward (without the head having to tilt up or down) and forearms resting with elbows at a 90-degree angle on the desk.
Desk ergonomics are important for both physical health and mental productivity. Adjusting computer height, seat height, desk height, keyboard angle and contact points between the body and the floor, back of the chair and desk can all contribute to improvements in positioning.
Most desk chairs are modeled after anthropometric generalizations, or a certain size “norm” pertaining to a particular society, which leaves people at the tall, short, large and small ends of the range with the need to modify their workspaces. Adding a foot rest can be an easy way to make your workplace more comfortable. When a chair cannot be lowered, a foot rest can fill the gap between the ground and the floor, allowing a person’s knees to rest at the optimal 90-degree angle for reduced pressure on the back and hips. Many foot rests also encourage movement of the feet for reduced swelling and improved circulation.
