Sit-Stand Workstations
A sit-stand workstation is a work surface that has height adjustability, allowing an individual to use full sitting and standing postures. The key to effective use of a sit-stand workstation involves rotation between the two postures, rather than having to continuously use either sitting or standing. In many office environments, employees and managers are questioning whether a sit-stand workstation is appropriate for their needs when using their computers for extended periods of time.

Considerations for a Sit-Stand attached to an existing workstation
Example of an existing bridge replacement/integration using a MyHite
- Will the attachments for the desk interact well with the existing surface?
- Will existing furniture be able to support the desk load and height adjustments movements?
- Will it remain stable?
- Will the surface provide enough space to perform tasks without encouraging awkward postures?
- Are there light fixtures, shelving and other sturctures above the work surface that would block or interfere with the use of the desk?
- Can they be removed if required?
Hazards associated with sit-stand workstations
Standing too long
Standing longer than 30 minutes continuously without a postural break can increase reported discomfort in the legs and lower back.
Awkward postures
Work surfaces that do not accommodate full sitting and standing postures, leading to awkward postures being adopted.
Shrugging Shoulders
Low/High adjustments causing neck pain
When is a sit-stand workstation of value?
High task demands with fewer breaks
when breaks are difficult to schedule, a sit-stand can vary postures.
Specific physical symptoms where occasional standing provides relief.
While beneficial to those with specific low back, hip or knee symptoms, prolonged standing can aggravate some of these symptoms.
Shared workstations
Easily adjustable, shared workstations can accommodate various size and stature needs.
