- •
A novel thoracic support for police officers was developed and tested.
- •
The thoracic support reduced seat back contact pressure area at the low back.
- •
The thoracic support increased seat back contact pressure area at the upper back.
- •
Normalized lumbar postures were more flexed with the thoracic support.
- •
Frequent secondary tasks (MDT usage) may reduce the rate of discomfort development.
