How does monitor arm positioning affect fatigue while standing at a sit-stand desk?

Poor monitor positioning at standing height is a leading cause of neck and upper back fatigue when using a sit-stand desk. At standing height, the monitor arm should be adjusted so the top of the monitor is at or slightly below eye level (most people have standing eye level at 60"–68" from the floor). If the monitor is too low, the user tilts their head down, loading the cervical spine. If too high, the user tilts their head up, causing upper neck strain. A gas-spring arm makes the transition from seated to standing height effortless — one touch lifts the monitor to the correct standing height.
