Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prolonged standing has been associated with a number of risks, including back and leg pain, cardiovascular problems, venous insufficiency, fatigue, and other musculoskeletal pain. Potential supports to address these risks includes compression types of hosiery, floor mats, supportive shoes, and shoe inserts. Sit-to-stand workstations, pelvic tilt task-related chairs, and other mechanisms to alter postures have also been used to address the risk associated with prolonged standing. All of these interventions tend to decrease subjective pain, although they do not address all of the negative effects of prolonged standing (Waters & Dick, 2014). The ability to change positions between sitting and standing can increase worker comfort.
