“…The number of VDU users has increased since 1989, and this increased use can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) [1][2][3][4]. Since the occurrence of MSDs in the workplace has become one of the most prevalent occupational diseases, it is an issue of concern to some governments, such as those of the North American and Nordic countries, Thailand, India and Japan [5][6][7]. The disadvantages of MSDs include a decline in work productivity and economic loss [8][9][10].…”

The development of technology has increased the number of activities workers are able to perform while using visual display units (VDUs), as well as the amount of time spent executing those activities; the developing technology, however, has also increased the probability of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which can decrease a worker's productivity and result in a company's economic loss. Workers at PT. X use VDUs 8 hours per day. This research aimed to analyse the risk factors that are the likely cause of some MSD symptoms experienced by PT. X workers, such as individual and psychological factors, the work environment, VDU, chair and the work patterns.This research was a cross-sectional study that used proportional stratified random sampling with 95 participants. The study found that most of the workers experienced MSD symptoms (78.6%), of which 70.52 percent were chronic complaints, 1.37 percent were acute complaints and 6.71 percent were a combination of both acute and chronic

“…Most previous studies of musculoskeletal morbidity in occupational settings have reported the patterns and severity of pain. 2,[4][5][6] There have been very few reports of disability caused by the WMSDs. This study reports the disability in terms of self-report of limitations of use of the area of pain.…”

“…5 Among workers in a bank working for long hours on the computer, the musculoskeletal morbidity profile showed a predominance of low back, upper back, neck and wrist pain, related to long hours of being seated in one place and working with the hands on the computer. 6 In West Bengal, the work related musculoskeletal morbidity of brick field workers showed that there was a high prevalence of low back pain and neck due to frequent bending, bending and twisting of the body and working above shoulder height. 7 Coir industry workers in Kerala, who stand for long hours and use their hands for twisting and winding the coir suffered more from low back pain.…”

Background: Cotton textile industry employees use their neck, shoulder and upper limbs extensively in their work. However, there is no adequate documentation of the type of musculoskeletal morbidity among these workers. Objectives: To study the prevalence, patterns and disability due to musculoskeletal disorders among cotton textile industry workers in Tamil Nadu. Methods: The study was conducted in a cotton textile factory in Coimbatore. The factory was selected randomly from a list of medium scale factories. Stratified random sampling among supervisors, labourers and housekeeping staff in the factory was performed. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) was used to collect information on pain in different areas of the body. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to group the pain, its severity and disability into syndromes. Based on the factor scores, the participants were grouped into clusters of pain patterns using K means cluster analysis. Results: A total of 100 participants responded to the study. The main syndromic patterns of musculoskeletal morbidity included-Acute upper limb pain, Chronic and acute pain in knee, ankles and feet, Acute and Activity limiting pain of back, hip and thighs, Chronic and Activity limiting pain in the back and shoulders, Activity limiting upper limb pain. Based on these syndromes, the participants were classified into three main clusters-cluster 1-Acute, activity limiting pain of upper limb, low back, hips and thigh (13%), cluster 2-Acute pain of knees, ankle and feet (12%) and cluster 3-Activity limiting pain of upper back, shoulder and upper limb (75%). Conclusion: The cotton textile industry workers had predominantly upper limb, upper back and shoulder musculoskeletal morbidity and disability, which needs to be addressed by appropriate ergonomic measures in the factories.
