Low back pain is more frequently present in patients involved in occupations that are related to driving automobiles, motorcycles, buses, tractors, trucks and heavy construction and agriculture machinery. Furthermore, low back pain is the leading major cause of disability in those younger than 45 years. The EU co-funded project SAFEGUARD aims at developing a new seat that will improve comfort, while decreasing the risk for health damage. In addition a holistic methodology, to evaluate seating comfort, from different aspects has been developed. Initial pilot results indicate that the SAFEGUARD system is highly appreciated by professional drivers and is validated from the technical point of view, meeting its original goals.
