The office ergonomic design from the late 1980s to the present has undergone significant changes during the transition from typewriters to the various human computer interfaces that evolved to the present day. Designs to accommodate various sized monitors and pointing devices have posed a challenge for ergonomist and designers of office workstations. Recent research suggesting adverse health effects associated with sedentary work environments have put additional pressure to incorporate the option to stand while working. This article reviews the current available options and suggests approaches to workplace design to meet the desire for employees to vary their work environment and the concern by management for worker health.
从20世纪80年代末到现在，办公室人体工程学设计在从打字机到演变成如今各种人机界面的转变过程中经历了重大变化。适应各种尺寸显示器和指点设备的设计，给办公室工作站的人体工程学专家和设计师带来了挑战。最近的研究表明，久坐的工作环境会对健康产生不利影响，这给引入站立工作的选择带来了额外压力。本文回顾了当前可用的选择，并提出了工作场所设计方法，以满足员工改变工作环境的愿望以及管理层对员工健康的关注。
