Height-adjustable sit-stand desks have proven to increase productivity in environments where workers properly use the desks. In addition to helping reduce workstation injuries and related illnesses, workers are more engaged and productive due to less fatigue.

Most definitely. To help attract and retain valued employees, today’s most progressive organizations such as Apple, Google and Facebook have made it a standard. These companies standardize on sit-stand desks because they believe the benefits to their workers far outweigh the nominal costs.

Yes, if desks are shared by multiple users, height-adjustable desks can easily adjust to the various heights of the users. In the case of LifeDesk SmartLegs, they can raise and lower to meet the proper sitting and standing requirements of workers from 5’7″ to 6’3″ in height.

A Cornell University study recommends 20 minutes sitting, 8 minutes standing, and 2 minutes of dynamic activity every 30 minutes. This “20/10 protocol” results in a total of 32 transitions in an eight-hour workday. However, standing just six times for 10-15 minutes every day also delivers a dramatic improvement in worker wellness.

Studies have shown that the majority of sit-stand desk users don’t understand how to use their height-adjustable desks, including how often they should transition from sitting to standing throughout the day. LifeDesk developed the LifeDesk SmartLeg app to provide an easy way for users to make the proper sit-stand transitions, resulting in measurable results that deliver a positive return on investment on their sit-stand desks.

LifeDesk SmartLegs replace the legs and or supports on virtually any existing work surface to enhance it into a sit-stand desk. The sturdy telescoping legs raise and lower the desk to the proper ergonomic heights for each individual’s proper sitting and standing positions.

LifeDesk SmartLegs are powered by a control box with a small yet powerful electric motor for each leg that is installed underneath the work surface, The desk can be programmed to four settings unique to each person’s individual sitting and standing heights. The legs can also be controlled by the free LifeDesk SmartLeg App.

Yes. LifeDesk SmartLegs provide the proper ergonomic sit and stand positions for 99.8% of the population, which encompasses people from 5’7″to 6’3″ in height. Find out what sitting and standing heights are right for your workers.

The ergonomically correct heights for sitting and standing are unique to each individual and depend on the person?s height, eye range and elbow range. For example, someone 5’0″ tall will require a desk about 22 inches tall for the sitting position while someone 6’0″ requires a 28-inch desk. A standard office desk is 28 inches tall, so it is a proper ergonomic fit only for a person 6’0″, which is not most of the population.

Using the free LifeDesk SmartLeg App, users can track their sit-stand usage and measure their transitions throughout the day. This helps ensure that the desks are being used for the proper number of transitions throughout the day to help improve workplace wellness and elevate worker productivity. The Apps are available at the Apple App Store and Google Play.

The energy power draw is nominal, costing less than $5 per year per desk in electric utility costs, according to real-life customer tests. This is a fraction of the cost of potential worker injuries or illnesses due to sitting too much.
