CAR SAFETY BELTS: A STUDY OF TWO MODELS ADAPTED FOR PEOPLE WITH ARTHRITIS

ELEANOR ARIE

Department of Rheumatology, City Hospital Hucknall Road, Nottingham NG5 1PB, UK

People with arthritis find car seat belts difficult to use. Sixteen arthritic patients and 19 healthy volunteers completed a comparative study of one standard inertia-reel belt and two adapted inertia-reel belts with reduced retraction forces. Those with arthritis were strong enough to use the standard belt but both adapted belts had features making them easier to use.

KEY WORDS: Arthritis, Seat belts, Accident prevention
