Earning money while walking: walking workstations make it possible

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
Due to the increase of deskbound workstyles, there has also been an increase in sedentary behaviour. Walking workstations have been shown to decrease the amount of sedentary time and increase caloric expenditure to combat consequences of sedentary workstyles. Due to the dual-task involved in walking and performing work-related tasks, there are concerns on walking safely during workstation use. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a difficult precision mouse clicking task (MCT) on lower extremity angular joint positions at specific gait sub-phases. Results indicate that using a walking workstation while performing a MCT does not affect lower extremity angular joint positions, to an extent.
