Car safety belts: a study of two models adapted for people with arthritis
British Journal of Rheumatology
|May 1, 1986
Abstract:
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.
