Fitness ball in the workplace study

Ergoweb is a great source of information about anything ergonomic. Lively discussions often punctuate the comment sections of articles, so one really gets a wide variety of opinions. An ongoing controversy over ball chairs had one user, a Wellness Specialist in the Injury Reduction Program of the Dept. of Facilities Management at the University of California Santa Barbara, offering up a survey conducted by his department on the relative comfort felt by office users after they sat on fitness balls for a year. While not a scientific study, it does provide a very interesting look into personal preference surrounding ball chairs. You can find a link to the study here.
