Myth #2
Everyone needs to have a sit‐stand workstation.

Fact:
If your are happy with your current workstation, experience little or no discomfort (especially in the lower back), and have a job that allows you to get up and move during the course of the day, you probably do not need a sit stand workstation.

Fact:
Individuals with lower extremity orthopedic problems (ankle, knee or hip issues) may not be able to tolerate extended periods of standing.

Fact:
Individuals with jobs requiring precision, targeted, visually intensive work e.g., micro-assembly or intensive graphic design, perform better in a seated posture.
