Analysis of risk factors affecting musculoskeletal disorder

Skeletal muscle complaints felt by a person
ranging from very mild complaints to very painful are called
musculoskeletal disorders. This happens because of excessive
muscle contraction due to giving too heavy work with a long
duration of loading. Several risk factors for musculoskeletal
disorders are age, gender, Body Mass Index, exercise
frequency, history of muscle compliance, working hours, type
of activity at work, and years of service. These risk factors
need to be identified to look for risk factors that are most
associated with musculoceletal disorders in workers. This aim
of the research was to identify risk factors associated with
these disorders. A descriptive correlational study was used in
this study. Respondents were workers who can communicate
well, are able to read and write and were willing to be research
respondents. The number of respondents in this study was 101
people obtained by proportional random sampling.
Questionnaires were used to collect data for this research.
Results: This study showed that there was a significant
relationship between all these risk factors and the fear of
falling (p<0.05). Age and history of muscle compliance were
the risk factors most closely associated with musculoskeletal
disorders (p=0,000). Age and history of musclecomplaints
were the strongest risk factors that influenced musculoskeletal
disorderiat workers.
