Abstract |

Over the past 25 years, sitting have become more and more prevalent in the office work environment. Prolonged sitting leads to various health issues thus leading to discomfort and decrease in productivity. To tackle prolonged sitting culture researchers are researching on sit-stand workstations. Previous studies showed that there is evidence on reduction in musculoskeletal discomfort with use of sit-stand posture associated with prolonged sitting. The online survey carry out in this study confirmed that there is lack of awareness of sit-stand workstations in India, there is need of alternative to reduce worker discomfort without tumbling productivity. Organizations must take both into account when crafting a strategy and guidelines for optimizing movement in the workplace. There is need of ergonomic workshops at Indian institutes and organizations to make people ergonomically aware. |
