Evaluation of Technical and Anthropometric Factors in Postures and Muscle Activation of Heavy-Truck Vehicle Drivers: Implications for the Design of Ergonomic Cabins

Evaluation of Technical and Anthropometric Factors in Postures and Muscle Activation of Heavy-Truck Vehicle Drivers: Implications for the Design of Ergonomic Cabins

This study investigates how three technical factors—steering wheel tilt, torque, and cabin vibration frequency—affect driver posture. Heavy-truck drivers often suffer from musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), mainly due to poor cabin ergonomics and prolonged postures during work. In countries like Ecua...
