Abstract
A proprioceptive foot stimulator assembly having a cross bar that connects to the leg structure of a desk. The assembly includes a bottom channel that pivotably attaches to the cross bar, and a foot stimulating member that attaches to the bottom channel, so that it can pivot in relation to the crossbar. Mounting flanges are located at the longitudinal ends of the cross bar. A pivot assembly, generating the pivotable attachment between the bottom channel and the cross bar, includes two threaded fasteners and a bushing, secured by lock nuts; the bushing connecting the first threaded fastener to the second threaded fastener, such that the second threaded fastener can pivot in relation to the first threaded fastener. In another embodiment, the proprioceptive foot stimulator assembly has at least one slider track capable of being attached to a desk and a foot stimulating member that slidably connects to the slider track.
