1. 1. Musculoskeletal disorders and whole-body vibration exposure among professional drivers of all-terrain vehicles

   Författare :Börje Rehn; Ronnie Lundström; Tohr Nilsson; Karin Harms Ringdahl; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Whole-body vibration; Shock; Ergonomics; Epidemiology; Musculoskeletal; Driver; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; medicin; Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : Musculoskeletal disorders are common among professional driver groups. Ergonomic risk factors at work are often suggested as causative, aggravating or preserving. LÄS MER

3. 2. Psychological responses to noise and vibration

   Författare :Jessica Körning-Ljungberg; Greg Neely; Ronnie Lundström; Kerstin Persson Waye; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Psychology; Cognitive; Cortisol; Noise; Vibration; Occupational; Vehicle; Weinstein; Occupational; Vehicle; Weinstein; Weinstein; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Vehicle drivers are a group of workers that are exposed to noise and whole-body vibration (WBV) several hours a day. Some drivers may also be exposed to high mental loads – monitoring and manipulating physical controls while engaging problem solving activities often with strong short-term memory and spatial manipulation components.

4. 3. Effects of vibration on muscles in the neck and upper limbs : with focus on occupational terrain vehicle drivers

   Författare :Charlotte Åström; Gunnevi Sundelin; Lage Burström; Stefan Karlsson; Karin Harms-Ringdahl; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Electromyography; drivers; hand-arm vibration; trapezius; whole-body vibration; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Occupational drivers of terrain vehicles are exposed to several risk factors associated with musculoskeletal symptoms in the lower back as well as in the neck and upper limbs. Vibration has been suggested to be a main risk factor. These drivers are exposed to both whole-body vibration (WBV) and hand-arm vibration (HAV). LÄS MER

5. 4. On Evaluation and Modelling of Human Exposure to Vibration and Shock on Planing High-Speed Craft

   Författare :Katrin Olausson; Karl Garme; Jakob Kuttenkeuler; Dominic J. Taunton; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; whole-body vibration; high-speed craft; working conditions; seat modelling; apparent mass; ergonomics; human factors; ISO 2631-1; ISO 2631-5; extreme values; acceleration statistics; slamming;

   Sammanfattning : High speed in waves, necessary in for instance rescue or military operations, often result in severe loading on both the craft and the crew. To maximize the performance of the high-speed craft (HSC) system that the craft and crew constitute, balance between these loads is essential. LÄS MER

7. 5. Prediction of discomfort due to transient whole body vibrations

   Författare :Peter Jönsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk akustik; Engineering Acoustics;

   Sammanfattning : This Licentiate is about Whole Body Vibrations and focuses on transient vibrations with human's discomfort and motion assessment. Whole Body Vibrations occurs when a body is in contact with a vibrating surface. Whole Body Vibrations is a major problem in terrain vehicle, which affects both the physiological and psychological health and discomfort. LÄS MER
