Biomechanical comparison of a rigid and dynamic seating system for children with special needs
… allowed the strain generated in the back and footrest components to be measured. At a certain instant of exerted force, the strain data was converted into force and moments acting on the backrest and footrests in three dimensions, assuming static equilibrium. The position of the resultant …

Factors affecting the dynamic response of the body and the vibration transmitted through seats
… the effects of the seat backrest, the footrest and steering<br/>wheel, and input spectra. In a rigid seat with no backrest, there were resonances in the apparent<br/>mass of the body around 5 and 10 Hz (with 1.0 ms-2 r.m.s broadband vibration). In the same seat<br/>with a rigid …
