The importance of a footrest in the ergonomic workplace is often overlooked. Footrests provide a firm support for shorter height employees and allow them to elevate their chairs to account for the worksurface height. People also find that when using a footrest the angle of the legs is opened up making for a more comfortable seated position. The body's reaction when the leg angle is opened is to push back against the chair back, insuring a proper seated position throughout the day. For those that perch on the front of their seat pan, a footrest is the perfect solution to break this poor ergonomic habit.

Cessi's footrests are designed to encourage lower limb movement during the day. The articulating platforms move to allow each person to find the angle most comfortable to them while the movement improves blood flow and dissipation of lactic acids in the feet.
