Editing Footstool (section)

==Function==
This type of footstool supports a person's (usually a child's) feet that do not reach the floor when seated. The footstool is placed under the feet of a sitting person so that the person's feet may rest comfortably on it. An example is the type of [[piano]] footstool used in conjunction with a [[piano bench]]. It is also used to make the [[blood circulation]] of the body flow more freely when sitting down.

A [[barber chair]] and a [[shoeshiner]] have foot rests. An [[automobile]] typically has a "dummy [[automobile pedal|pedal]]" that acts as a foot rest to discourage "riding the clutch" or "riding the brake". A foot [[wikt:peg|peg]] is another type of foot rest usually on [[BMX bicycle]]s, [[motorcycle]]s, the [[Ford N-Series tractor]], some [[kayak]]s, the [[Impossible wheel]], and other [[Transport|transportation]] devices.
