Standing Solutions

Sitting for prolonged periods while performing reptitive tasks can be very damaging to productivity as well as your health. An adjustable workstaton allows freedom of movement which is key to promotion of blood flow and circulation. This is also important for promotion of blood flow and circulation and for people with low back pain who cannot maintain the same posture for long periods of time. Studies have also shown that when employees use both a seated and standing position throughout the workday, their spinal compression is lessened. The results of study done by Miami University indicated that intermittet standing decreased the number of workbreaks taken by 47% with the average break being 56% shorter.

A central tenet of good ergonomic practices is avoiding repetitive stress. The solutions include taking short breaks, stretching and alternating positions. Standing while using the computer does this and more.

Standing benefits include increased blood flow, employees need fewer and shorter breaks, burns more calories, and a help convey a more assertive phone voice.

Products which facilitate alternating positions include an ergonomic chairs, adjustable keyboard trays, monitor arms and adjustable work surfaces.
