The Effects of Helicopter Vibration on the Spinal System.

Abstract

Initial work was performed to determine the objective correlates in vibration and posture as etiologic agents in low back pain in UH-1-H pilots. Existing pilot/UH-1-H cockpit relationships were measured and utilized in a UH-1-H cockpit simulator. Correlations were made between muscle EMG activity and force produced. Basic studies were performed to determine the effect of muscle fatigue on the muscle EMG activity. This basic work leads to work to be done studying the effects of the UH-1-H environmental factors on pain onset and duration.
