Reducing whole-body vibration and musculoskeletal injury with a new car seat design

Article Abstract:

The effectiveness of a new vehicle seat design featuring without back part of the seat (WO-BPS) posture in reducing whole-body vibration (WBV) in vehicle drivers is investigated. The result shows that WO-BPS, by reducing contact between the seat and the ischial tuberosities (ITs), reduce both contact pressure and amplitude of vibrations transmitted through the body.

Apparent mass of small children: Experimental measurements

Article Abstract:

The seated, vertical, whole body vibration response of small children of less than 18 kg in mass over the frequency range from 1 to 45 Hz was measured with a test facility and protocol that was developed for the purpose. Additional procedures developed included involvement of the parents.
