It seems evident that occupational drivers have an increased risk of developing back pain. Not only are they exposed to whole body vibration (vibration), their work often includes exposure to several other risk factors for low back pain (LBP), particularly the seated posture (posture) and manual materials handling (MMH). Excessive demands on posture are likely to be aggravated by vibration and vice versa, and the risks may be further compounded when MMH is performed. This study investigated the relative role of vibration, posture and MMH as risk factors for LBP and the stated hypothesis was that the risks for LBP in drivers are the combined effect of vibration, posture and/or MMH. The findings showed that interaction effects due to posture and one or both of vibration and MMH, rather than the individual exposure effects, are the main contributors for precipitation of LBP.
显然，职业驾驶员患背痛的风险增加。他们不仅会受到全身振动（振动）的影响，其工作还常常涉及接触其他几种导致腰痛（LBP）的风险因素，尤其是坐姿（姿势）和人工搬运（MMH）。对姿势的过度要求可能会因振动而加剧，反之亦然，并且在进行人工搬运时，风险可能会进一步增加。本研究调查了振动、姿势和人工搬运作为腰痛风险因素的相对作用，提出的假设是驾驶员患腰痛的风险是振动、姿势和/或人工搬运的综合影响。研究结果表明，导致腰痛的主要因素是姿势与振动和人工搬运中的一个或两者之间的相互作用，而非个体暴露的影响。
