Standing smart

Increasing the comfort of standing workers

“Studying the upright position of the human body, the adjusting of its segments to maintain its balance and diminishing muscular problems are the main elements to highlight in order to improve the everyday (working) life of users,” according to Prof. Dr. Redha Taiar, an expert in biomechanical, human locomotion, kinematic and kinetic analysis and biomedical technologies at the University of Reims in France. This was the basis for a recent study (2011) that shows how human mechanics in a working environment are impacted by observing workers and measuring foot pressure for employees standing for long periods.
