Effects of seated posture on erector spinae EMG activity during whole body vibrations / Chris L. Zimmermann, Thomas M. Cook, and Vijay K. Goel

Sumario: The purpose of the present study was to measure the effects of three different seated postures on the response of the erector spinae musculature to whole body vobration (WBV). The three postures represent variations commonly occurring among seated bubjects in a variety of situations, including workers in environments producing WBV. The results of this study indicate that the magnitude of the vibration synchronous response of the erector spinae musculature is dependent upon body posture
