Footrest have been wrongly thought of as necessary for short people to assist them to get to the right hight for sitting. In fact its role is far more important.

With todays modern synchronised action chairs, a footrest helps to put a person into the ideal seated position of past 90 degrees to assist with reducing pressure in the back. The footrest helps as a leverage to assist the person sitting back. In addition studies have shown that some of the perceptual and physiological problems in the lower legs and feet during prolonged sedentary work may rather easily be reduced by a modest increase of the leg activity comprising a natural part of the sitter's work.

Many footrest are height and angle adjustable to accomodate for different peoples requirements. Other footrest are dynamic and allow movement that helps with blood supply and circulation.
