The foot plate and uprights are symmetrical about a plane of symmetry which extends perpendicularly between the opposite sides of the foot plate. A lateral side panel is rotatably connected to one upright, and a medial side panel is rotatably connected to the other upright at a relatively greater distance away from the foot plate. Flat, oval-shaped bearing surfaces are disposed on abutting sides of respective uprights and side panels. Pads are secured within the side panels and ventilation channels and holes are formed in the pads.
