Abstract
A seating assembly includes a seat operably coupled with a seatback. A calf support is rotatably coupled with the seat. A first motor is proximate the calf support and rotates the calf support outward approximately 90 degrees from a design position to a deployed position. An extension telescopingly engages with the calf support. A second motor is operably coupled with the extension and is configured to move the extension outward.
