[ The invention claimed is:] [1.]1. A foot rest comprising:a foot supporting panel movable from a lowered position to a raised position;a raising mechanism coupled to the panel;a flexible cable coupled to the raising mechanism; andan actuator engaging the cable, energization of the actuator operably moving the cable in a linear direction which, in turn, drives the raising mechanism to move the panel between the lowered and raised positions.
