Sit-Stand Desks — Expert Answer
What is the optimal body position when standing at a sit-stand desk?
Optimal standing ergonomics at a sit-stand desk follow clinical guidelines that OfficeFurniture2go.com incorporates into our workstation setup documentation. The target posture: elbow angle 90–100° with desk surface at the very bottom of elbow level, monitor at arm's length (22–26") with screen top at seated eye height (standing eye height positions the screen too high for most users), shoulders neutral, cervical spine in slight forward lordosis. Our ergonomics specialists note that the most common standing error is setting the desk too high and raising the shoulders toward the ears—test by deliberately relaxing your shoulders and checking whether your keyboard remains reachable.
