摘要: A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate worker exposure posture demands, manual materials handling (MMH) and whole body vibration as risks for low back pain (LBP). Using validated questionnaire, information about driving experience, (sitting) MMH, health history obtained from 80 city bus drivers. Twelve drivers were observed during their service route (at least one complete round trip) measurements at the seat according recommendations of ISO 2631 (1997), three models (a mini-bus, a single-decker bus, double-decker bus). The results showed that spend 60% daily work time actually driving, often with torso straight or unsupported, perform occasional light experience discomforting shock/jerking events. Transient mild LBP (not likely interfere customary levels activity) found be prevalent among need ergonomic evaluation drivers' suggested.
