Orthostand was developed to address a fundamental issue in foot care: static strain caused by non-ergonomic working postures.
Understanding this strain is essential to creating healthier, more sustainable working conditions.
An overlooked ergonomic risk, where physical strain begins.
In daily practice, foot specialists frequently adapt their posture to the patient and treatment, not to their own body.
Over time, this creates a constant physical load.
Why static strain is more harmful than you think and the difference between static and dynamic strain.
Physical strain can be divided into dynamic and static load.
Dynamic load involves movement and variation, allowing muscles to recover.
Static load, however, occurs when muscles are held in the same position for prolonged periods, restricting blood flow and accelerating fatigue.

From discomfort to chronic issues and the cost of poor ergonomics.
Prolonged static strain increases the risk of lower back pain, knee complaints, neck tension, and fatigue. Many professionals accept those physical discomforts as “part of the job.”
But over time, this can lead to chronic injuries, reduced concentration, and shorter working careers.
However, these complaints are often preventable with proper ergonomic support.
Designing for the human body.
Ergonomics should not rely solely on personal awareness or posture correction.
The working environment itself must actively support healthy positioning.
Ergonomics by Design. Reducing strain at the source
Orthostand enables foot specialists to work at an optimal height, maintaining a natural, upright posture during treatment.
By bringing the patient to the practitioner — rather than the other way around — Orthostand minimizes unnecessary physical strain.
Less bending. Less kneeling. More sustainable working conditions.
