摘要: Multidisciplinary effort is usually required in the evaluation of comfort problems working environment mobile agricultural machinery workers. Comfort can be partly assessed from study pressure distribution human-seat interface. Four combine foam seats and a new air-based seat were compared with regards to static buttocks back support pressures. Within between subject variability issue measurement repeatability addressed. Significant differences found maximum profiles four seating systems 2 3 performing better than I (seat 4 showed no significant difference when other seats). There an almost linear relationship mean body mass index. In all cases air system performed gradients.
