“…These disorders lead to financial losses associated with workers' compensation insurance or similar forms of social security in place (Lei et al, 2005). MSDs are caused mainly by manual material handling (MMH), heavy physical work (Wells et al, 1994), awkward and static postures (Das et al, 2012;Gallagher, 2005), repetitions of movements (Buckle and Devereux, 2002;Naik and Khan, 2020), and vibration (Hagberg et al, 2006). Highly repetitive work (Naik and Khan, 2020), forceful exertions, lifting, forceful movements, and wholebody vibration are examples of risk factors that have been associated with increased reporting of MSDs (Das, 2019a;Gangopadhyay et al, 2007a).…”

The main aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate work-related injuries (WRI) and the self-reported musculoskeletal symptoms among 742 railway track maintainers. The second aim of this study was to investigate the potential factors related to the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in track maintainers. This study also tried to do planning and implementing ergonomic intervention programs to improve track maintainer’s health. Modified Nordic questionnaires were administered to assess the prevalence of MSDs. Detailed posture analysis by rapid entire body assessment (REBA) method was performed to assess the risk level of concerned postures. The injury data for 12 months were collected by conducting a survey and personal interviews with the affected railway track maintainers. To assess the prevalence of MSDs, the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were computed along with critical χ 2 values. Analysis of variance was performed to determine significant differences between the MSD present and absent among the track maintainers of the Indian railway. The result of this study showed that neglect of safety precautions is the main reason for injury, followed by slipping and falling and lack of awareness. Sprain injury is one of the main injuries, followed by cut, snakebite, abrasion, and fracture. Low educational levels of workers are also reasons for WRI. In conclusion, the prevalence and severity of MSD, particularly in the low back, knees, wrist, and shoulder and WRI were found to be very high among the track maintainers. The recommendations of this research are ergonomic interventions, such as track maintainers proper training, following the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health -recommended weight limit for manual material handling, modification in hand tools, job rotation, performing stretching exercise, and avoiding awkward and static posture are needed.

“…Gangguan muskuloskeletal terkait pekerjaan merupakan jenis masalah kesehatan yang paling umum terjadi pada miliaran orang di selu ruh dunia (Ch ang et al, 2012;Lei et al, 2005). Kondisi ini rentan terjadi pada banyak negara berkembang dan maju (Safarian et al, 2019) yang menyebabkan meningkatnya ketidakhadiran kerja, biaya perawatan kesehatan, biaya kompensasi, sehingga mempengaruhi perkembangan organisasi (Naik & Khan, 2020) serta produktivitas pekerja (Albeeli et al, 2020). Spektrum gangguan muskuloskeletal mencakup kondisi inflamasi dan degeneratif yang mempengaruhi otot, tendon, ligamen, sendi, saraf perifer, dan pembuluh darah pendukung (Da Costa & Vieira, 2010;Punnett & Wegman, 2004).…”

Gangguan muskuloskeletal dapat disebabkan karena aktivitas yang dilakukan secara rutin dalam penggunaan komputer oleh para pekerja di Perguruan Tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis hubungan jenis kelamin, usia, IMT, kebiasaan olahraga, masa kerja, waktu kerja, dan penggunaan komputer terhadap gangguan muskuloskeletal. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan desain crossectional yang dilakukan terhadap dosen dan tenaga pendidik sebanyak 34 orang yang telah memenuhi minimal sample dengan teknik pengambilan sampel accidental sampling. Instrumen untuk mendapatkan data gangguan muskuloskeletal menggunakan Nordic Body Map (NBM). Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Chi-Square dengan tingkat kemaknaan 5% (α=0.05). Adapun hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa faktor-faktor risiko yang dianalisisis yaitu jenis kelamin p=0,69, usia p=0,18, IMT p=0,53, masa kerja p=0,32, waktu kerja p=0,32, penggunaan komputer p=0,43 yang artinya variabel-variabel tersebut tidak bermakna terhadap gangguan muskuloskeletal dan terdapat satu faktor risiko yang bermakna terhadap gangguan muskuloskeletal yaitu kebiasaan olahraga p=0,02. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah satu-satunya faktor risiko yang berpengaruh terhadap gangguan muskuloskeletal ialah kebiasaan olahraga.

Musculoskeletal disorders are disorders that occur in one of the skeletal organs or muscles of the body such as congenital abnormalities in the upper and lower extremities, nerve and muscle disorders, inflammatory infections of bones and joints, musculoskeletal metabolic disorders, degenerative musculoskeletal disorders (spine, upper extremities) and below). The study aimed To analyze the static condition of the workers' complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Using literature review with scoping review method. The data was collected through internet searches using Google Scholar and PubMed with the keywords static conditions, complaints of MSDs, ergonomic position, musculoskeletal disorders, the influence of static conditions, with a range of research years is 2015-2020. Results found 83 articles matching the keyword. A review of 9 research articles that met the inclusion criteria found 4 aspects, namely the factor of length of work more than 1 year, age, working hours and using the same extremity for a long period of time will increase the risk of MSDs, Doing work in awkward positions for 5- 8 hours/day increases the risk of MSDs in workers, especially nurses, The emergence of MSDs symptoms is higher in women, namely in the lower back and neck area, The pain felt due to MSDs disorders can be severe, namely in the lower back, shoulders, neck, wrists , knees and ankles. There is a relationship with static positions/non-ergonomic conditions at work, these non-ergonomic conditions do not directly cause complaints but in the long term complaints will arise. The female gender is at high risk of experiencing MSDs, the length of work and length of time working will affect the emergence of MSDs, there are 12 static conditions found in someone when doing work, the main complaint that appears in MSDs is pain.
