[0044] The side wing frame 22 is adjusted by rotation. When in use, it can be rotated to an inclined support state to provide lateral support for the legs placed on the leg rest assembly 21 to avoid the problem of lateral sliding of the legs. When not in use, it can be rotated to a straight folded state.

[0045] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the side wing frame 22 is rotatably disposed on the board surface 2111 of the support board 211 of the leg support assembly 21, and the board surface 2111 is used to place the user's legs.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, when not in use, the side wing frame 22 is attached to the board surface 2111 of the support board 211, and the side wing frame is in a folded state.
