Dalam kegiatan produksi tidak terlepas dari operator, dalam interaksi antara manusia dan mesin tersebut membutuhkan postur tubuh yang baik agar produk dikeluarkan lebih optimal. Sering kali para pekerja mengalami nyeri otot saat melakukan pekerjaan terutama pada bagian leher punggung, hal dikarenakan oleh kerja ergonomi sehingga berakibat tingginya terjadi risiko cedera musculoskeletal disorder...

BACKGROUND Dentists are susceptible to Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) due to prolonged static postures. To prevent MSDs, working postures of dental students should be assessed and corrected in early career life. OBJECTIVE This study estimated the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders in dental students using Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) tool. METHODS A number of 103 undergrad...

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are the main work-related problems in construction sites around world. Awkward working posture is mainly responsible for occupational musculoskeletal injuries. The objectives of research were to analyse postures workers and assess level risk injury their work. Four categories collected from elementary works as a form still pictures site. Two assessment tools RUL...

The aim of the study was to investigate the posture and musculoskeletal discomfort of secondary school students while working at computers in school. Students (n = 40) were observed while working at a computer during their designated computer class. The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment Tool (RULA) was used to assess posture. A Body Discomfort Chart (BDC) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to ...

OBJECTIVE "Work-related musculoskeletal disorders" (WMSDs) is a term used to describe a painful or disabling injury to the muscles, tendons or nerves caused or aggravated by work. WMSDs are preventable or at least can be delayed. The aim of this study to determine the work related musculo-skeletal disorders and risk levels of the these factory workers. STUDY DESIGN Cross sectional study. MA...

In the process of moving cement products from packaging department to several trucks, human power is required. Workers who transfer finished belt conveyors trucks take a long time lift heavy workpieces which can cause disturbances in limbs as result repetitive work. Therefore, an analysis needed that aims determine level safety work postures basis for improving posture workers. analyzing body p...

We hypothesized that a laparoscopic technique for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is associated with more musculoskeletal discomfort and ergonomic strain than a robotic technique. This pilot project studied one surgeon while he performed four laparoscopic and four robotic (da Vinci system) Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures. We measured musculoskeletal discomfort with body part discomfort sco...
