Abstract

A high incidence of spinal disorders is observed in professional drivers; in particular, back and neck pain result in high rates of morbidity and low retirement age. A sample of 77 drivers, of rubbish-collection vehicles who sit in a standard posture and of roadwashing vehicles, who drive with the neck and trunk flexed, bent and twisted, was studied using RULA, a method for the evaluation of the exposure to risk factors associated with work-related upper-limb disorders. Results showed a significant association between trunk and neck scores and all self-reported pains, aches or discomforts in the trunk or neck regions in all subjects. In particular, the neck score was significant in both postures, reflecting high loading of the neck. Significantly different posture scores were also recorded for drivers using an adjustable vs. a non-adjustable seat. In this first RULA study of the working posture of professional truck drivers, the method proved to be a suitable tool for the rapid evaluation of the loading of neck and trunk.

Abstract

The trucking industry has many concerns over increasing labor needs and industry costs. The large number of motor vehicle accidents that involve trucks has led to an investigation into the major contributing factors. Driver fatigue is suspected to be one major cause and is thought to result in the driver becoming less responsive to the environment and more vulnerable to accidents. While the truck driver spends many hours in a fixed sitting position, he still experiences whole body vibrations, and this is being investigated as a major cause of driver fatigue. In a previous study bus drivers were found to have significantly more bowel, respiratory, muscular and back disorders than office workers or the general population. It was concluded that the combined effects of body posture, postural fatigue, dietary habits and whole-body vibration contributed to these disorders. These factors are also concerns for truck drivers who, because they drive for extended periods, also exert much stress on the lower back, especially on the discs between the vertebrae, the bones that make up the spine. This health problem costs the trucking industry significant amounts in workers' compensation and health care. The chiropractic profession can continue to help the trucking industry through treating occupational injuries and through prevention education.

Abstract

The majority of injuries to truckers are caused by falls during the descent from the cab of the truck. Several studies have shown that the techniques used to descend from the truck and the layout of the truck's cabin are the principal cause of injury. The goal of the present study was to measure the effects of the descent techniques used by the trucker and the layout of the truck's cabin on the impact forces absorbed by the lower limbs and the back. Kinematic data, obtained with the aid of a video camera, were combined with the force platform data to allow for calculation of the lower limb and [L.sub.5] -- [S.sub.1] torques as well as [L.sub.5] -- [S.sub.1] compressive forces. The trucker descended from two different conventional tractor cabin layouts. Each trucker descended from cabin using either 'facing the truck' (FT) or 'back to the truck' (BT) techniques. The results demonstrate that the BT technique produces greater ground impact forces than the FT technique, particularly when the truck does not have a handrail. The BT technique also causes an increase in the compressive forces exerted on the back. In conclusion, the use of the FT technique along with the aids (i.e., handrails and all the steps) help lower the landing impact forces as well as the lumbosacral compressive forces.

Thousands of Milwaukee residents have been suffering from flu-like symptoms due to a virus that has infected the city's water supply. During the past several days, a large portion of the citizenry have not reported for work which forced various offices and businesses to work with a skeleton staff. The situation had also affected truck and shipping operations in the Milwaukee area, which showed a low number of drivers reporting for work and a growing number of appointment cancellation.
