Whole Body Vibration Exposure to Crane Operator’s
Whole body vibration (WBV) has been linked to lower back disorders (LBD’s). The purpose of this study is to determine whether crane operators are exposed to whole body vibration (WBV). If exposure exists then, do they exceed a current consensus standard. This information will be used to determine whether WBV should become a larger discussion item when purchasing cranes and or rebuilding. This i...
متن کاملVibration exposure and biodynamic responses during whole-body vibration training.
PURPOSE Excessive, chronic whole-body vibration (WBV) has a number of negative side effects on the human body, including disorders of the skeletal, digestive, reproductive, visual, and vestibular systems. Whole-body vibration training (WBVT) is intentional exposure to WBV to increase leg muscle strength, bone mineral density, health-related quality of life, and decrease back pain. The purpose o...
متن کاملCan exposure to whole body vibration in operators of construction vehicles affect the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders? A research study in construction projects
Operators of construction vehicles are constantly exposed to whole body vibration, which can lead to musculoskeletal disorders. The aim of present study was to evaluate the impact of exposure to whole body vibration in operators and its relation to musculoskeletal disorders. This study is a descriptive-analytical study. Using easy sampling, 89 operators from 6 types of heavy vehicles (Bulldoze...
متن کاملWhole-body vibration exposure in metropolitan bus drivers.
BACKGROUND Back injuries are common in transit drivers, and can result in substantial direct and indirect cost to the employer and employee. Whole-body vibration (WBV) is one risk factor for drivers. Standards have been adopted (ISO 2631-1) to guide researchers in measuring and analysing WBV levels. Lately, a new standard has been added (ISO 2631-5) that takes impulsive exposures into account. ...
متن کاملUsing consumer electronic devices to estimate whole-body vibration exposure.
The cost and complexity of commercially available devices for measuring whole-body vibration is a barrier to the systematic collection of the information required to manage this hazard at workplaces. The potential for a consumer electronic device to be used to estimate whole-body vibration was assessed by use of an accelerometer calibrator, and by collecting 42 simultaneous pairs of measurement...
