Towards closing the discrepancy of pilot anthropometry and aircraft seat dimension for reducing lower back pain (Lbp) among fighter pilots
Background: Severe Lower Back Pain is An Occupational Hazard among the Aircraft Pilot. Objectives: The aim of this paper is to propose an experimental procedure involved to determine the anthropometry difference between local aircraft pilots and western aircraft pilots. The study proposes understand...
