  • Patent number: 5149033
    Abstract: A support apparatus (1) for one or both of a user's extremities, e.g., feet, includes a vertically extending elevation member (10), which optionally comprises a stationary member (36) and an extension member (34) to allow for height adjustment and which has an elevated support surface (14) upon which the user can place his or her foot or feet. The elevated member may be adapted to receive one or two of the user's extremities (e.g., legs) in arcuate depressions (14a, 14c, 14d) in the support surface (14). A footing member (12) provides an extended support for the elevation member (10) and a surface on which the user's unelevated foot can be placed. The elevation member (10) may be attached to the footing member (12) off-center, so that, by rotating the apparatus 180 degrees about a substantially vertical center axis (V--V) of the footing member (12), the effective distance of the elevation member (10) relative to the user can be altered.
