Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Back Pain — 6; 8.5; 4; 1.5 units on a scale
Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the changes in back pain from access to a sit-stand workstation. Other muscle and joint pain and/or discomfort will also be evaluated. We hypothesize that access to a sit-stand workstation will allow one to experience postural variation and reduce back pain.
