A modal analysis of whole-body vertical vibration, using a finite element model of the human body
222
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional model of human biomechanical responses to whole-body vibration has been developed, by using the finite element method, using Beam, spring and mass elements to model the spine, viscera, head, pelvis and buttocks tissue.

Whole-body vibration as potential intervention for people with low bone mineral density and osteoporosis: a review.
TL;DR: An overview of WBV is provided including terminology, safety considerations, and a summary of the current literature intended for rehabilitation healthcare providers considering WBV as a potential therapy for individuals with osteoporosis.
Modelling the dynamic mechanisms associated with the principal resonance of the seated human body
TL;DR: Simple mathematical models have been developed to obtain insights into resonance phenomena observed at about 5 Hz in the dynamic responses of the seated human body exposed to vertical whole-body vibration and may assist understanding of the dynamic mechanisms responsible for resonances.

Biodynamics of the human body under whole-body vibration: Synthesis of the reported data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the most probable ranges of biodynamic responses of the human body to whole-body vibration, including the driving-point biodynamic response of the body sitting with and without a back support while exposed to fore-aft, lateral and vertical vibration.

On the relationship between whole-body vibration exposure and spinal health risk.
TL;DR: A conceptual framework provides the possibility to identify factors determining the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on the spine and the internal stress-strain relationships and examples of anatomy-based verified finite element models are provided.

Non-linear dual-axis biodynamic response to vertical whole-body vibration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured forces in the vertical, fore-and-aft, and lateral directions on the seat and in vertical direction at the footrest, and found that the femoral forces at the feet were nonlinear with a multi-resonant behaviour and were affected by the position of the legs.
