A lower-leg anti-fatigue brace device wherein the device has a horseshoe-shaped buttress, a hinge mechanism, an adjustable, telescoping support member and a non-slip attachment. The support member is adjustable in height by the utilization of a height adjustment push button and a plurality of height adjustment holes. The anti-fatigue brace device provides a user alleviation from standing fatigue by supporting the weight of the user when the brace is in use. The lower-leg brace device is ideal for individuals who stand in a stationary position at their jobs for prolonged periods of time including cashiers, production employees, and surgeons.

An adjustable toilet footrest assembly has a main footrest and a height-adjusting accessory, wherein the height-adjusting accessory is removably attachable to the top of the main footrest and wherein the height-adjusting accessory is nestable to the underside of the main footrest when not in use.

A portable work support device and support for a key board and a pointing device, such as a mouse, for use by occupants of reclining capable office chairs having an adjustable fitted footrest assembly connected to the chair that will provide the seated chair user the ability to achieve a desired pelvis/feet triangulation stabilization effect while reclined by having the seated user's feet placed correctly in an attached footrest thereby producing a tactile input or cue that will lead to the desired muscle or motor output, causing the seated user to actually sit all the way back in the chair, and to be in a posture biomechanically neutral for using and working on the portable work support device, a work station removably housing the portable work support device, and a foot rest assembly to which a chair can be tethered so that a computer user can be properly positioned in a reclining position in the chair and have reduced posture issues when using the work support device while using computer or like equipment.

The portable foot and leg rest assembly includes a main body and an extendible support assembly attached to a lower surface of the main body. The main body includes a top portion, a base portion, and an intermediate portion provided between the base portion and top portion. The intermediate portion includes removable dual leaf members. The leaf members are attachable to the top portion. The extendible support assembly includes first and second leg members and a stand member. The first and second leg members slidably engage the base portion and the stand member. The stand member includes a control assembly which is configured to selectively lock the first and second leg members at a desired position and thereby set the portable foot and leg assembly at a desired height.

A portable leg rest device is disclosed for elevating the legs while sitting or lying down. The portable leg rest device comprises a body component that is configured as a frame with height-adjustable legs in a scissor-lift configuration that allow a user to change the height of the pillow attachment secured to the top pad. The pillow attachment can be stored inside the device until applied to the top pad. The top end of the device terminates in a rectangular pad to support the legs. During use, the device keeps the legs of a user above their heart while napping or relaxing to improve blood flow.

A device and method for maintaining a user's legs in an elevated position is presented. In particular, the embodiments comprise a base plate having a front surface and a rear surface, a calf cup and heel cup integrated with the front surface, a plurality of retractable leg members, a plurality of hinges, an attachment means comprising preferably a plurality of hook and loop fasteners, and a plurality of gripping caps. The base plate is adaptable to attach with the user's leg or footwear. The plurality of retractable leg members is adaptable to operate in a deployed configuration and/or in a stored configuration, and a locking mechanism is presented. In user, the device allows the user's leg to rest such that the foot is tilted inward or outward from the body. Finally, in the stored configuration, the plurality of retractable leg members becomes parallel with the rear surface of the base plate, thereby allowing the user to perform body movements without removing the leg support device.

An electric height adjustable desk with synchronous moving footrest, method of use, and a rotatable footrest assembly. The desk comprises: a desktop; two electric height adjustable desk leg members; two horizontal base members; and a rotatable footrest assembly. The rotatable footrest assembly comprises: two footrest frame members; two pivot spring connection units; and a rotatable footrest unit comprising a U-shaped foot bar member connected on each end to a pivot spring connection unit. Each spring connection unit comprises: a gas spring; a tension member; and both are connected to a pivot plate member. The tension member and the gas spring work together to rotate the footrest unit to a horizontal position while the desktop rises, and to a vertical position while the desktop is lowered. The tension member may further comprise an extension member to delay rotating the footrest unit until the desktop has reached a selected height.

An actuating footrest includes a footboard configured to receive a plurality of forces applied by the user's feet and a flexible frame configured to resist and return at least one of the applied forces. The flexible frame is attached to the footboard and includes a pair of lever arms connected to each other via a central crossbar, a stationary base configured to keep the footrest stationary while operated by a user with each lever arm transitioning to the stationary base at an angle, and bumpers to protect the footboard from damage during pivoting. The stationary base has a pair of base arms that are connected to each other via another central crossbar running parallel and having a substantially similar length to the lever arm crossbar, the stationary base further includes a plurality of floor grips configured to maintain the stationary position of the footrest.
