    Really, this video highlights the issues with laptops, not sit stand desks(or makeshift variants).

    For this scenario it's easy. Put the laptop on the tan chair. Plug in an external keyboard put that on the black stool and put that under the tan chair.

    But with a laptop, aren't you having to look down anyway, when wrists are in alignment?

      Very true! there's nothing ergonomic about using a laptop. The best practice would be to use a desktop PC or use a docking system for a laptop for a long period of use.

      You’ll need to get a separate mouse and keyboard that plug in with usb or wireless, it’s what I do.

      Thanks for the replies, but I was simply making a point about how inclusion of a laptop was irrelevant (because of what you've mentioned)

      I think she mentioned get a separate keyboard for your laptop... as in your lap top at eye level would be your screen and your new wireless keyboard would be arm level

    I've got a T2-L2 fusion and I've found that the only thing that keeps me from 'hanging' off of my fusion is to sit VERY upright with a way to change my foot position every couple of minutes. (I use a bar as a foot rest for that.) But the biggest thing is to get up and WALK - slowly and gently - frequently. I can't sit or stand in any position for any extreme length of time without pain, so I don't do that.
    I take a lot of breaks. Right now we're designing my office and I've got three desks worked into the plan. I'm going to be able to move from sitting upright, sitting reclined, and standing (with the keyboard and screens at the right heights) as often as I need to. The goal is that, at no point, am I holding any one position for more than an hour. And I'm still going to be taking frequent breaks.

    • @AlainPilon

      nope. elbows should be just a little bit ABOVE the keyboard so the forearms are angled downward a little bit.
