INSTRUCTIONS
Assembling the OFFICE FootFidget®
1. Remove screws from the “X” bracket. Insert each of the four “Arms” to the “X”
bracket. Line up the hole on the “X” bracket with the hole on the arm.
Holes aligned
2. Insert screw into hole, initially threading the screw by hand and then tighten with the
Allen Wrench so that arms are on securely. *Do not over tighten*
3. Turn the FootFidget® upside down. Place rectangular nonskid pads on the bottom of
each ‘arm’, closer to the bend to give the unit stability.
4. Turn stand upright.
5. Slide both elastic bands of the same color through the large foam tube to form the
FootFidget® Assembly. Bands should run parallel in the tube
* If both the yellow and black bands are used together, both sets of bands pass in
parallel through the tube, stacked black on top of yellow.
6. Attach the FootFidget® assembly to the stand. Three height notches are available on
each arm to provide comfortable movement and correct ergonomic positioning either
sitting or standing Band loops should be placed over the top of each arm and slid down
into the notches at the same level. (Refer to other side for further instructions). *If both
the yellow and black bands are used together, place the 4 yellow loops on the middle 4
notches, and then the 4 black loops on the top 4 notches.
7. Adjust the vinyl tubing covering the elastic bands so it extends equally from
both sides of the large foam tube.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER COLOR BAND AND NOTCH UTILIZATION
The Office FootFidget is a “non-exercise activity” which you can use throughout your day to provide increased activity either sitting or standing.
(1) The non-distracting, subtle activity can provide ergonomic positioning, decrease low back strain through core activation, and increase
circulation in the large muscle groups of your legs and core. This can increase caloric expenditure and comfort! Recent research on the
FootFidget®, titled "Chair based fidgeting and energy expenditure" has been published in BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Manual, Volume 2,
Issue 1. “This study found that calorie expenditure increased significantly while using the FootFidget® when compared to a standard office
chair". (2) The Proprioceptive input from pressing down on the FootFidget® increases focus and attention to increase productivity, energy
level and comfort throughout the day. The FootFidget® is not meant to be an exercise per se - You do not want too much resistance especially
in the sitting position –this can cause undue fatigue and strain. If the Office FootFidget® is to be used with a Sit-Stand desk, it can be
positioned to be used in both positions seamlessly –typically in a mid-notch position with the yellow band.
SITTING: While sitting the black band is typically recommend. While sitting, the middle or lower notch is typically a comfortable
height and provides the correct ergonomic positioning and proper excursion or movement needed for maximum benefit. The Ergonomically
correct positioning: Active knee slightly higher than the hip and lower leg at a 90 degree angle to the floor. The active leg should be pushing
straight down on the device. If you have the device too far out in front of you, the device may tip. To prevent tipping with an overly active
user, the non-active toe can be placed on the frame as noted below.
STANDING: While standing, band selection of black, yellow or the combination of both will depend on the size and needs of the
user. The yellow band is generally recommended while standing, and is typically used in either the top or middle notch depending on the
height of the user, to provide proper ergonomic positioning and proper excursion-movement.
Depending on user comfort, if the user requires more resistance while standing, the combination of both yellow and black bands can be used
together. This combination is only recommended for standing.
The Office FootFidget® comes W/2 sets of colored bands:
Yellow: Heavier resistance for standing applications
Black: Medium resistance for sitting applications
Combine both Yellow and Black: Maximum resistance when used standing, if needed.
Correct Standing
Alignment with the
Office FootFidget®:
The active foot
presses straight down
on the device as
illustrated in a slow,
rhythmic, comfortable
up/down movement.
Alternate the active
foot as comfortable.
Correct sitting Alignment
with Office FootFidget®:
The active foot on the device
with knee slightly higher than
hip, and lower leg @ 90° to
floor as illustrated. The active
foot presses straight down on
the device in a slow, rhythmic
and comfortable up/down
movement. Alternate the
active foot as comfortable.
To stabilize unit sitting:
Depending on positioning
and personal use pattern
–you can stabilize the
device by placing the non-
active toe/forefoot on the
device as illustrated by
the arrow.
Improve the ease in
attaching the assembly cord
loops to the frame: Place
the first 2 Loops on one
narrow end of the frame
and place on this narrow
end down on floor. Stabilize
the frame with one foot as
noted with arrow. Stretch
the remaining 2 loops up
over ‘top’ arms of the frame
and slide into the notches.
Adjust to desired height by
sliding all 4 loops to the
same notch.
