Low Back Pain Among Drivers

Poor body posture, inadequate seat support and fatigue of back muscles have been described as co-factors in the pathogenesis of musculoskeletal disorders of the spine in operators/drivers. A survey of drivers was conducted to determine the actual situation of drivers' low back pain (LBP). One of these risk factors is exposure to whole body vibration, which is a known characteristic in driving professions. With the booming economy and improvement of living standards in China, taxis have become an indispensable mean of transportation. While the number of taxi drivers has increased, there is a risk of overwork, monotony, boredom, repetition and the stress of coping with complicated traffic conditions.
