    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1986 Jul; 57(7):694-5. PubMed ID: 2943260.
    Abstract:
    A questionnaire on low back pain (LBP) was administered to 373 fighter pilots, 165 transport pilots, and 264 helicopter pilots. Helicopter pilots had more pain during flight than did fighter or transport pilots (34.5%, 12.9%, and 5.1%, respectively). A history of LBP temporally unassociated with flight was found in 26.5% of helicopter pilots, 31.5% of transport pilots and 25.2% of fighter pilots. We conclude that, despite the pain experienced by helicopter pilots in flight, they are not at increased risk for LBP unassociated with flight.
