III. YOUR CHAIR
Figure 3.2 Footrest Figure 3.3 Footrest extension
z Chairs are designed so that your feet hang over
the end. If your heels were on the footrest, it would
put pressure on your heels and leg muscles,
and would become uncomfortable after a short
period of time.
z However, when your heels hang over the edge of
the footrest, it puts the weight of your legs on the
backs of your calves. This distributes the weight
evenly to larger portions of your legs, and you
are able to sit for long periods of time without any
discomfort. The footrest extension is designed
to help support your feet and to sit below the
footrest to go with the natural curve of the foot.
NOTE: Please note that the footrest extension may not be level with the footrest.
