| Abstract |
About 80% of longshoremen over 30 years of age exposed to vibration during loading and unloading ships and more than 50% of those under 30 years suffered from lumbago. Vibration of forklift trucks, work posture and other environmental conditions are suggested as the main causative factors. |
