Description of the problem | My truck suffers from vibration problems, the same thing that 10,837 other posts from other people suffering the same problem are talking about on this forum. Http://www. Gm-trucks. Com/forums/topic/153186-shake-or-vibration-issues/page-723 this forum has been viewed over 1. 5 million times which means a ton of people are having this issue. This is absolutely a risk to motor vechicle safety and absolutely exists in a group of vechicles of the same design or manufacture. The problems this shake presents that pose a danger are vibrations so significant that it can cause driver distraction, fatigue on long trips, potential loss of control, not to mention long term health effects from vibration exposure. The health effects defined are as follows: "the effects of whole body vibration (wbv) have been studied extensively in occupational medicine. In particular, it has been shown that when the body undergoes chronically to whole body vibrations spinal degeneration is likely to be one of the deleterious outcomes. Low back pain has been shown to be the leading major cause of industrial disability in the population under the age of 45 years and has been linked to whole body vibration exposure encountered in some industrial settings. Whole body vibration has been recently purposed as an exercise intervention suggesting its effectiveness in increasing force-generating capacity in lower limbs and low back. It has also been reported to be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for patients with low back pain. Relatively short exposure to whole body vibration has been also shown to increase the serum levels of testosterone and growth hormone. The combined effects on the neuromuscular system and endocrine system seem to suggest its effectiveness as a therapeutic approach for sarcopenia and possibly osteoporosis." |
