Associations of prolonged standing with musculoskeletal symptoms-A systematic review of laboratory studies

Evidence suggests a detrimental association of prolonged standing with low back and lower extremity symptoms. To avoid musculoskeletal symptoms (without having a-priori knowledge on whether someone will develop symptoms or not), dose-response evidence from this study suggests a recommendation to refrain from standing for prolonged periods >40 min. Interventions should also focus on underlying pain mechanisms.
