The Consequences of Mechanical Vibration Exposure on the Lower Back of Bus Drivers: A Systematic Review

Professional drivers are exposed to whole-body vibration while driving, which contributes to an increased risk of developing physical problems, such as pain in the lower back. This article aims to review the effects of vibration exposure on bus drivers. Searches were performed on the PubMed, Embase,...
