Assessment of Whole-Body Vibration Exposure and Self-Reported Lower Back Pain among UiTM Bus Drivers

Abstract

Vibration is commonly defined as an oscillating motion of a mechanical system or body and plays a role to humans as it affects comfort and their needs. Bus drivers are exposed to Whole-body vibration (WBV) due to contact with the vibrating surface for a long working period. Lower back pain (LBP) associated with WBV is an increasing problem that continues to get worse throughout the world.
