The combination of adjusting the chair, keyboard tray or the monitor surface may lead to hanging of the feet while sitting. Sitting with feet hanging and not resting flat on the floor can reduce leg circulation and cause discomfort on the back. Footrests can be used to provide proper foot support. However, the footrests will limit the leg movement of the user. When selecting the footrest, it should:

  • be adjustable for height and surface angles.
  • have a wide surface to give more choice of leg position.
  • have an anti-slip material on the base to keep it firmly in place.
  • have an non-slip surface so that the feet can be firmly placed on it.
