Why Use ERGOup Leg Support?

The ERGOup Leg Support is a uniquely designed device that attaches to most any ergonomic office chair. The pad supports the user’s lower leg and knee while maintaining an elevated position. With adjustments for just about any size person with just about any support requirement it’s a perfect fit for those who want to keep working.

Why use the EROG Up when there are plenty of other things to use to support your leg? The reasons are many; for example most of the time when you need to work with your leg elevated it relates to an injury, illness or surgical procedure. In these cases comfort is often a prime concern. Putting you leg on a pile of books or even another office chair just isn’t the same. The physics behind the benefits of the ERGO up Leg Support have to do with forces applied in differing directions and their impact on those items in close proximity. Here is an example; when you are sitting on a chair that has casters on it you can roll around easily by pushing on the floor or on the front edge of your desk. The forces you applied to the floor or the desk are converted to movement easily because of the casters on your chair which lessen friction. Sit in the middle of the room and place an empty office chair close by. Try pushing on the chair like you did on the desk to move yourself away from the other chair. What you find is that the other chair moves, not yours. In this example mass creates greater friction so the empty chair moves more easily.

Let’s apply the above example to the leg support. The purpose of connecting the leg support to your chair is to insure a constant relationship between the two. Why is that important? Because the distance between your chair and the leg support are one of the adjustments that insure proper support and comfort.

The Ergo UP Leg Support is designed to allow flexibility in use. We know that while you may need to have your leg elevated some of the time, maybe even most of the time, there are periods where you will want to sit with your leg down. During these times all you need do is pivot the leg support around the chair away from your legs. This is possible because the support is connected to the chair on the round cylinder part of the chair. The chair cylinder becomes a pivot point. When you’re ready for support just pivot it into position.

Some ask how to mount or use the leg support. In other words how do you get into and out of the chair with a leg support in front of you? It’s easy, just turn you chair away from the leg support, sit down like you normally would then turn and raise your leg onto the support pad.

In the end the reason for using the Ergo UP Leg Support rather than a pile of books or another chair is that it’s safer, easier to use and can insure you have a perfect support for your legs. Whether you have an injury that you are recovering from or simply want an option for sitting with your legs up while you work it’s a perfect choice.
