Abstract in brief

  • Prolonged standing at work is linked to serious health issues like back pain, leg pain, cardiovascular problems, fatigue, and complications during pregnancy.
  • Research indicates that certain interventions—such as floor mats, sit-stand desks, chairs, and specialized footwear—can effectively reduce these health risks.
  • To improve the quality of studies, clearer definitions of standing duration, better measurements of health effects, and more rigorous research methods are needed, alongside following recommended guidelines.]
