Ergo-Human Optimum Sitting Position With Enhance the Biomechanics to Maintain the Natural Curvature of Spine Posture in Prominent Support and High Comfort of Backrest In Automobile Seating
Keywords:
Body posture, Biomechanics, Spine alignment, Neutral sitting posture, ErgonomicsAbstract
Nowadays, customer's expectations for comfort in automobile seating rise continuously. The ultimate aim is to minimizes fatigue and reduce the pressure, to provide an ergonomic feature in an optimum sitting posture ,so that even longer journey do not lead to physical discomfort. Design objectives such as comfort, safety and health need to be satisfied simultaneously. Prolonged period of driving results in manifestation of physical problems such as Low Back Pain (LBP), and other Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). Lumbar support is to prevent the muscular fatigue while vehicle occupant is sitter. Design the seating system is made to be ergonomic, user-friendly, comfortable and safe. Good sitting posture and relaxed position of driving is mainly focused on concentration and responsibilities. It’s also benefit to assess the ease Ingress/egress
