Sit/stand table usability design and evaluation

长时间久坐的活动，如坐在办公桌前或开车，已经与许多负面健康影响联系在一起，促使公司、科学家和健康从业者倡导人们减少坐着的时间。雪上加霜的是，越来越多的人在坐姿上花费的时间更长。除了普遍的健康问题外，有明确的证据表明，接触坐姿与报告的更高的腰背痛发生率有关。腰痛和长时间久坐工作之间的联系推动了包括交替站立和坐着姿势在内的预防策略。在工作时轮流坐和站的策略已经被证明有可能减少下腰痛，但对工作效率的影响最小。为了适应这种姿势的变化，需要一个可变高度的工作面，称为坐/立工作台。与我们的工业合作伙伴的最新进展导致了新技术的开发，使无动力坐/立工作站达到人体工学标准

Prolonged sedentary activities, such as sitting at a desk or driving, have been linked with many negative health effects, prompting companies, scientists and health practitioners to advocate for people to reduce the time they spend seated. To compound this, an increasing percentage of the population is spending longer periods of time in seated postures. In addition to general health concerns there is clear evidence that exposure to seated postures is linked with higher rates of reported low back pain. This association between low back pain and prolonged seated work has driven preventative strategies that involve alternating standing and sitting postures. The strategy of alternating sit and stand while working has been shown the potential to reduce low back pain yet have minimal impact on work efficiency. To accommodate this change in postures a variable height work surface is required, referred to as sit/stand workstations. Recent progress with our industrial partner led to the development of new technology allowing a non-powered sit/stand workstation to achieve ergonomic standards
