Humanscale Announces FM500 FootrestHumanscale announces the introduction of the award-winning FM500 Footrest, a striking addition to its line of ergonomic accessories for the workplace.
The FM500 provides perfect support for the feet and legs to ease pressures on the lower back when sitting.
With its curved supports that encourage healthful rocking, the footrest offers a surprising amount of functionality in a simple and elegant package.
The FM500 was recently awarded the Grand Prize for Safety and Accessibility Solutions in the 2005 Innovations competition presented by Buildings Magazine.
Studies have shown that 70% of all women and 40% of all men have health issues such as blood clots, varicose veins and pressure on the Achilles tendon due to pooling of fluids in the lower limbs - the result of prolonged, inactive sitting.
The die-cast aluminum legs of the FM500 are curved to encourage rocking of the feet, which increases blood flow to the lower extremities and reduces the health risks of inactive sitting.
The FM500 readily accommodates all users, is incredibly easy to use without instructions or training, and is moveable so that it travels with users if and when they are moved to a new location.
The molded plywood platform provides a large surface area for exceptional and stable support.
