Standing desks cause lower back pain without proper monitoring

Remote workers using standing desks experience lower back strain and fatigue but lack real-time feedback on posture and standing duration. Current solutions are either passive (lumbar support cushions that don't adjust) or expensive commercial ergonomic systems, leaving individuals unable to optimize their standing desk setup.
