The study of the spinal column in a vibration environment is of interest, since it can potentially affect comfort and performance across the broad spectrum of Air Force activities. Twelve Air Force male volunteers were asked to sit in each of three different aircrew seats (secured to a vibration platform) to experience a vibration environment similar to a C-130 low-level flight. Both pre- and post-vibration spinal column measurements were made using a noninvasive technique. The results of spinal column measurements revealed statistically significant differences between the three aircrew seat types used in the study. The results also lend credibility to the spinal contour measurement device as a useful tool for the measurement of the human spinal column. |
