| Popis: |
While travelling in a vehicle compared to semi-supine or seated postures persons may beaffected more in the supine posture by the vibrations transmitted to their bodies. Patients areexposed to significantly high levels of whole-body vibrations during their transportations in anambulance. High velocities cause high magnitude forces that pose high physiological dynamichazards [1]. These result in discomfort and cause adverse affects on patients. The slope of theupper part of the stretcher affects the body posture which in turn alters the body’s response tovibration [2]. Studies show that the presence of backrest increases the resonance frequency ofthe body [3]. The condition of the road surface or the road type and the speed of the vehiclemay further worsen the patient’s situation. |
