> The problem with standing is that when you raise desk height for keyboard/mouse use you need to also raise screen height above the desk or you get neck flexion. Also, for standing computer work the computer fixes the person’s posture there is greater wrist extension and pretty soon people end up leaning which also compromises their wrist posture, thereby increasing the risks of a musculoskeletal disorder like carpal tunnel syndrome.
I don't understand this. In a proper sit-and-stand configuration the torso, arms and head ought to be in almost exactly the same position relative to the monitor, keyboard and table whether the user is sitting or standing, no?
For traditional cubicles and traditional desks (i.e. no keyboard tray, no monitor stand), this doesn't happen. I get the impression that they're talking about that kind of situation. But if they are, then the sit scenario has issues they're failing to address. I agree, who uses a standing desk but has the monitor at the same level as the keyboard/mouse? That's just irrational.
Happy standing desk user (well, customizable IKEA bookshelf, LOL).
