The Correlation Dependence of Lumbar Moment on the Body Mass Index of Male Engine Drivers

Only seven static and dynamic anthropometric measures important for the engine driver's control panel design were selected from the 25 measured in 2015, for a sample of 51 male engine drivers from all parts of Croatia. The correlation dependence of lumbar moment Mly on the body mass index BMI has been proven in the hypothetically most unfavorable static sitting working position, only with both arms beyond the equilibrium position and horizontally extended in the zone of maximal reach, and based on the really measured static and dynamic anthropometric measures. It is important to note that two most important dynamic anthropometric measures, such as normal arm reach and maximum arm reach were this time measured to the center of the clenched fist, not to the tip of the middle finger as in the past research, because of the fact that most of the frequently and manually served commands on the control panel (switches, buttons and controllers) are being served with a clenched fist or mostly clenched fist in reality.
