Dramatic? You might be surprised to learn that poor adjustable workstation design can create stressful repetitive movements and awkward postures. This can pose as the major risk factor for Musculoskeletal Disorders or MSDs in clinicians. The height adjustability of our mobile technology cart is dictated by anthropometric (body measurements) data and guidelines. This data indicates proper elbow and eye height for injury-free typing. [Ergonomic](https://altus-inc.com/ergonomics/) typing and one step adjustability will save the caregiver time, energy, and their own health. ![](https://info.altus-inc.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/img-36.jpg) Fortunately for caregivers’, Altus’ mobile technology carts and wall-mounts offer both manual and electric lift systems that with one step height adjustment, place them in an ideal ergonomic position with little effort.
