So, sort of motivated by reading that many other people seem to experiment with standing desks, I installed a standing terminal at home. Used it sporadically (so only an hour at a time or so) for a few months. Then, my right foot developed a very painful problem. Dragged that with me the whole winter. When I went to the doctor, they didn't find (suprise!) any cuases. Took me 8 months to recover my right foot totally. Lessons learned: Forget about the new trendy alternative craze, its likely just bullshit.

We are working on this and did a related study which included a group of participants more sensitive than average to standing and sure enough- more frequent posture changes from standing eliminated discomfort in 100% of participants.
