The FootRest No.3 from Bakker Elkhuizen is a unique solution that can be utilized in several ways. As a footrest it offers 2 elevations and 2 angle options. It can also be used as a calf stretcher when desired. All of these are achieved by simply repositioning the Footrest No.3 to a new orientation. There are no moving parts to fail and because the supple covering has just enough texture it is easily repositioned using just the feet.
And our creative staff found another use for the FootRest No.3 - as a lapdesk to offer enhanced ergonomics for short term laptop use away from the desk. (see image gallery on the Detailed Specification Page. |
| Ergonomic Benefits |
|---|
Improves Upper Body Posture - The FootRest No.3 provides a supportive surface that encourages correct utilization of the chair backrest rather than "perching" on the front edge of the seat. This improved posture can reduce the risk of upper back, shoulder and neck pain. The multiple positions also accommodate varying of position throughout the day.
Reduces Negative Effects of Prolonged Sitting - By properly supporting the feet and legs, a foot rest takes potential pressure off the backs of the thighs and can relieve strain on the lower back.
Cushioned Comfort for Feet - The FootRest No.3 is especially suitable for use without footwear, with the integrated cushioning offering a soft surface to rest the feet or legs.
Can Reduce Potential Pressure and Restriction of Circulation - Shorter individuals often have their chair elevated in order to achieve appropriate positioning at the desk. This can leave their legs "dangling" which can result in pressure against the back of the thighs, potentially restricting circulation. The multiple heights offered by the FootRest No.3 are generally sufficient enough to reduce or even eliminate these pressure points - encouraging unimpeded circulation.
Encourages More Activity During Workday - The multiple height and positions which the FootRest No.3 offers encourage changing of positions throughout the day. This encourages movement of the feet, rather than keeping them static in a single position. By offering these active movement rather than static sitting is encouraged.

| Usage Tips |
|---|
- Position your chair to the appropriate height prior to positioning the FootRest No.3. This will ensure that you are able to properly access your worksurface. Once your seating height is selected, then select the mode that positions your knees slightly below your hips. The height should be sufficient to ensure that there are no pressure points against the back of the thighs at the edge of your seat.
- Once your foot rest is correctly positioned make a point of sitting back in your chair and letting the backrest provide your back with the appropriate support. Not only is this good for the health of your back - it will also be more restful and has the potential to significantly reduce the risk of developing lower back pain due to poor posture. It may well also result in a more relaxed back, neck and shoulders with an accompanying reduction in end-of-day fatigue.
- After your chair and foot rest are correctly positioned ensure that appropriate adjustments are made to your monitor height. If you move from a "perching" posture to sitting back in your chair with correct upright posture you will most likely need to elevate your monitor since your head will be elevated and your line of sight will naturally follow suit.
- Because the FootRest No.3 offers multiple positions take advantage of these and change your position or use throughout the day.
