Sit-stand workstation

After baseline, each participant had a sit-stand workstation installed on their existing workplace desk. A single or dual monitor WorkFit-A with Worksurface+ workstation was installed, dependent on the number of monitors. The monitor(s) and keyboard were housed on the workstation and the workstation could be quickly raised up and down by hand to enable seated or standing work. Participants were not prescribed an amount of time to use the station. Ergotron Ltd provided and installed the workstations and gave participants basic face-to-face training and ergonomic information on correct use. Participants received a web link to manufacturer ergonomic guidelines via an email from the research team. After end-intervention data collection, manufacturer staff uninstalled the workstations.
