BackgroundThe spinal column possesses shock absorption properties, mainly provided by the intervertebral discs. However, with the process of senescence, all structures of the spine, including the discs, undergo degenerative changes. It may lead to alteration of the mechanical properties of the spinal motion segment and diminished capacity for vibration attenuation.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the age-related changes in shock absorption properties of the spine.Patients and methodsA total of 112 individuals divided into three groups according to age (third, fifth, and seventh decades of life) were enrolled in this study. The transmissibility of vibrations through the spine was measured in a standing position on a vibration platform by accelerometers mounted at the levels of S2 and C0. Registered signals were described using four parameters: VMS (variability), peak-to-peak amplitude (PPA), and spectral activity in two bands F2 (0.7–5 Hz) and F20 (15–25 Hz).ResultsIn all age groups, signals registered at C0 were characterized by significantly lower values of VMS, PPA, and F20, when compared to level S2. Simultaneously, the parameter F20 significantly differed among all age groups when C0 vibrations were analyzed: 2.43±1.93, 5.02±3.61, and 10.84±5.12 for the third, fifth, and seventh decades of life, respectively.ConclusionThe human spinal column provides vibration attenuation; however, this property gradually declines with the aging process.

Influence of Various Types of Office Desk Chair for Dynamizing the Operation Assessed by Raster Stereography

The current development trend of the operational activities indicates an increase in occupations which last for a few generations and whose primary position is the activity in the sitting position. This trend is directly connected with the technological progress and development of the society within Industry 4.0. However, the workplaces intended for sitting occupations that are designed according to the current standards are unsuitable from several perspectives. The long-term sitting activities at most actual workplaces cause an accumulation of the static load. For this reason, the article deals with dynamizing the activities in the sitting position. The presented research is based on utilizing the knowledge of the sitting posture dynamics and on the information acquired through diagnostics based on the Raster Stereography as an innovative method based on modelling a natural human spin. The article brings the first research results, which points out the fact that probably not all types of dynamic sitting that are nowadays preferred are suitable for long-term working.

Spinal cord provides the support to withstand the weight of the human body. The lumbar and thoracic curves mostly represent the spine curvature of human. They are also used to determine the normality of the human spine. If the normality doesn’t exist these data are helpful in treating the human. Low back ache arises even if any of the curves shows abnormality. This study revolves around the available techniques or instruments in measuring of those mentioned curvatures and the standard of the instruments. Around the world, many countries have started collecting spine curvature data for more than five decades; however, India lacks in this field. Every instrument faces its own difficulties and providing its own advantages. Construction of one new machine which will be providing only the advantages is a hectic task. For collection of spine curvature data countries have developed various instruments such as (X-ray), Inclinometer, Arcometer, Goniometer, Flexicurve, Laser scanner, Fibre optic sensor, electromagnetic sensors, spinal mouse, etc.; some might not be accessible to Indian markets. Today, there is a die-hard need in developing of machine or instrument or technique which will overcome all the limitations that were provided by the above mentioned instruments.
