The study of features of the working posture pattern of bus and trucks drivers showed the inconsistency to their optimal criteria. Deviations of goniometric indices of working posture pattern of drivers are noted for most brands of studied cars, that is caused by constructive disadvantages of the driving seat both of well buses and trucks. The study of the health state of drivers have shown the prevalence of dorsalgia in the group of bus and truck drivers reached 40.8 ± 4.75, and in truckers drivers--15.6 ± 2.96 cases per 100 employees. The largest share in the structure of the pathology in both groups is occupied by lumbodynia. Significantly more frequent pathology of musculoskeletal system in bus drivers is related with the long-term presence in the fixed uncomfortable position. There is emphasized the importance of design changes of the driver's seat, adapted with taken account of the individual anthropometric parameters, for the prevention of the disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
