Abstract
There has been a major shift toward office workstations that accommodate standing postures. This shift is attributable to negative health and musculoskeletal issues from sedentary exposures. However, changing exposures from sitting to standing does not eliminate these issues, as evidence indicates prolonged standing also induces problems. Reducing seated exposure and rotating frequently between sitting and standing has been shown to result in positive health outcomes, reduced discomfort, and increased work performance. Implementing sit-stand workstations has promise to mitigate work-related health issues, if the users are provided with training that includes accommodations for individual work patterns and preferences.
