J MANIPULATIVE PHYSIOL THER , 2000, vol. 23, n° 1, p. 37-47 Doc n°: 94062 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DF14 - POSITION ASSISE - EQUILIBRATION Driving has been associated with signs and symptoms caused by vibrations. Sitting causes the pelvis to rotate backwards and the lumbar lordosis to reduce. Lumbar support and armrests reduce disc pressure and electromyographically recorded values. However, the ideal driver's seat and an optimal seated spinal model have not been described. OBJECTIVE: To determine an optimal automobile seat and an ideal spinal model of a driver. DATA SOURCES : Information was obtained from peer-reviewed scientific journals and texts, automotive engineering reports, and the National Library of Medicine. CONCLUSION: Driving predisposes vehicle operators to low-back pain and degeneration. The optimal seat would have an adjustable seat back incline of 100 degrees from horizontal, a changeable depth of seat back to front edge of seat bottom, adjustable height, an adjustable seat bottom incline, firm (dense) foam in the seat bottom cushion, horizontally and vertically adjustable lumbar support, adjustable bilateral arm rests, adjustable head restraint with lordosis pad, seat shock absorbers to dampen frequencies in the 1 to 20 Hz range, and linear front-back travel of the seat enabling drivers of all sizes to reach the pedals. The lumbar support should be pulsating in depth to reduce static load. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2000209945 |
