ABSTRACT:
A blood clot risk reducing apparatus includes a frame forming a loop and including a first lateral section, a second lateral section, a front section and a back section. A rod extends between the first and second lateral sections. Two foot panels each include an upper surface, a lower surface, and a distal edge and a proximal edge with respect to the front section. The foot panels are pivotally coupled to the rod. A base is attached to the frame. A pair of foot supports is attached to and extends upwardly from the base. Each of the foot supports is attached to one of the foot panels. The foot supports are resiliently compressible and bias the distal edge of each of the foot panels upwardly. The distal edges of the foot panels are movable downward with a toe portion of a person's foot to exercise their leg muscles while seated.
