[Gllug] OT Spinal injuries and computer working positions

[M.Blackmore]

ANyone anyidea how one could make a rising and falling desk? So one can
have it go up to standing height, or drop down to near the floor so one
could sit in semi-lotus position upon it...

Also, does anyone make a swinging keyboard arm that could be brought
into place?

Just some thoughts...
