ABSTRACT ment; Back Pain, Ergonomics; 3D-SpineMoveGuard Neck and low back pain causes highest disability rates in industrialized countries. Apart from blue- collar occupations dentists and dental care personnel are also strongly affected by work related back pain. However, due to missing analysing systems spine ex- posure could not be adequately estimated for sitting and non load bearing tasks. Therefore, a new biome- chanical measurement system was developed to ana- lyze spine and trunk kinematics. To explore the po- tential kinematics impact on the spine two days of periodontology care have been examined. Moreover, to asses the influence of an altered sitting position data was collected in 9 (day 1) and 12 (day 2) o’clock position. Data were collected and analyzed by the new 3D-SpineMoveGuard. The systems analyze pos- tures and
