车辆驾驶员腰部疾患的研究

Study of lumbar disorder in the vehicle drivers.

本文调查了手拖司机1109名、中拖司机423名、卡车司机237名、公交司机317名、出租小车司机209名,银行财会人员336名为对照组。发现车辆驾驶员患下背痛者明显高于对照组。同时对上述各组随机抽样作腰椎X线正、侧位摄片。结果显示除出租小车纽外,余各车辆组驾驶员患椎体骨质增生明显高于对照组,且发病期早、程度严重、分布面广。作者认为,驾驶员的骨质增生继下背痛是接触振动所致的职业危害。

The illness history of all the vehicle drivers including 1109 for walking tractor, 423 for medium tractor, 237 truck drivers, 317 bus drivers and 209 car drivers and 336 control persons were investigated. It was found that the morbidity of low-back pain was significant higher in the vehicle drivers than that of the control. Both ortho and lateral roentgenography of lumbar vertebra were made in the subjects sampled ramdonly. It was showe that the bone proliferation was significantly more in the vehicle drivers than that of the control group, the onset of the sickness was earlier, the condition was more severe. It was concluded that the direct vibration exposure might be the key factor associated with the obvious increase of lumbar trouble among the drivers.
