Ergonomically designed computer workstation adjustable to various sitting and standing positions

摘要

An ergonomically designed computer workstation includes a computer stand, stool, footrest assembly, and keyboard and forearm support assembly being adjustable so that the workstation can accommodate users in various sitting and standing positions. The stand has a base member, an upright member supported by the base member for vertical movement, and a planar platform mounted by the upright member in a horizontal plane to provide a support surface for a variety of computer equipment. The stool includes a stationary base and a seat with a back for supporting a user thereon. The stool can be adjusted to vertically move the seat away from or toward the base to position the seat at a desired elevation. The footrest assembly is mounted to the base member of the stand and can be adjusted to and positioned at a desired elevation corresponding to the desired elevation selected for the stand platform and stool in order to permit the user to assume an ergonomically proper position at the stand and on the stool. The keyboard and forearm support assembly is mounted within a cutout region of the stand platform and adjustable in selected angular and height positions for supporting a computer keyboard and a user's forearms and wrists at a selected one of a range of angles of inclination and selected height relative to a horizontal plane. A soft elbow support pad is mounted along an edge of the support assembly.
