  • People with SCI are at risk of developing debilitating and even life-threatening secondary conditions, which can cause premature mortality.
  • SCI is associated with lower school enrolment and economic participation rates, carrying substantial individual and societal costs.
  • Effective prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing health care are essential to alleviate the global burden of SCI. .. " (Spinal cord injury (who.int)

    "Prolonged sitting

    When sitting your pelvis rotates and flattens the natural curve in your lower back resulting in increased pressure on your spine. The longer you drive the more fatigued and weaker your muscles get as they try to maintain a sitting position while operating the truck.

    Consider the following:

    • Within reason, shift positions and this will give a much needed rest for some of the muscles being used.
    • Keep your back pant pockets free of thick items such as wallets as they will change the tilt of your pelvis and put more strain on the musculoskeletal system.
    • Adjust the seat and steering wheel so that:
      • Your feet can reach the pedals without lifting your back off the seat.
      • The back of the seat reclines slightly back from upright.
      • The natural curve in your lower back is supported. Reduce the pressure on your spine by using the lumbar support in the driver’s seat or secure something for external support such as a rolled up towel tied to the seat.
      • About every 30 minutes, make slight adjustments to the seat.
    • Take a break to get out of the truck to stand, stretch, and walk to help circulate the blood in your legs and give a much needed rest to the muscles needed to sit. It only takes 5 minutes every hour...." (Aches and Pains - Long Haul Truck Driving - Canada.ca)
