[Effects of low frequency vibrations on the human spine].
There is a general agreement in literature about effects of low frequency vibrations on spine in tractor drivers. Tractor drivers are exposed to noxious vibrations transmitted mostly by the seat. Spine generally presents a picture of degenerative lesions with higher incidence than in control groups. A statistical relation to the precocity of tractor driving can be shown.
