Postural Stability of Commercial Truck Drivers: Impact of Extended Durations of Whole-Body Vibration
Falls from non-moving vehicles constitute a significant portion of fall related fatal occupational injuries, with a yearly average of 48.7 fatal falls, from 1992 to 2002. Whole-body vibration (WBV) has been thought to be a contributing factor to loss of balance, more specifically, falls while descending from a vehicle. The current research employed a “real-time” actual trucking environment, rat...
متن کاملWhole Body Vibration Exposures in Long-haul Truck Drivers
Many professional truck drivers experience low back pain (LBP) which is believed to be associated with exposure to whole body vibration (WBV). As a part of a randomized controlled trial, this study measured WBV exposures from 98 professional truck drivers continuously during their regular work shift (8-12 hours). The daily weighted average A(8), vibration dose value VDV(8), and vector sum A(8) ...
متن کاملAssessment and prediction of whole-body vibration exposure in transport truck drivers.
The European Directive 2002/44/EC on the minimum Health and Safety prescriptions regarding the exposure of workers to vibrations, was implemented in Italy through the Legislative Decree 187/2005, recently amended by the Legislative Decree 81/2008. The Decrees contain legal obligations and minimum requirements for the evaluation by direct measurement, which is the reference method, although not ...
متن کاملWhole Body Vibration Exposures and Health Status among Professional Truck Drivers: A Cross-sectional Analysis.
Many professional truck drivers suffer from low back pain (LBP) which is thought to be associated with exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV). The objectives of this study were to: (i) characterize general health, regional body pain and WBV exposures, (ii) evaluate the associations between different WBV parameters and health outcomes, and (iii) determine whether there were factors which affect ...
متن کاملMeasurement of whole-body vibration in taxi drivers.
In a previous epidemiological study we reported that the prevalence (45.8%) of low-back pain (LBP) and the two-year incidence (25.9%) of LBP in 284 male taxi drivers in Japan was comparable with rates reported for other occupational drivers in which LBP frequently occurs. LBP was significantly related with the level of uncomfortable road vibrations, and, importantly, increased with total mileag...
