COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CORE MUSCLE BEHAVIOR ON INGRESSION AND EGRESSION IN DRIVING POSITION

Abstract

The aim of this study is to assessment the muscle behavior from lumbar side, during ingression and egression in driving position on medium class car. Using VICON system and BoB (Biomechanics of bodies) software we make an analysis of torque torsion of the lumbar spine and also an analysis of muscle imbalance left/right,  during two types of ingression and egression. The torques seem to be more closely for both types of movements. The gap of numeric values of torques between types 1 and 2  is 8-10% , in favor of ingression 1 and muscle imbalance is high for Erector spinae muscle.
