Abstract

Driving activity for online motorcycle taxi drivers is dominantly causing static activity. This static activity plays a role in creating complaints of musculoskeletal disorders. This study aims to determine the body point that dominates the complaint and the value of the influence of Nordic body maps on the characteristics of the respondents. The methodology used is the chi square test with 70 respondents as the sample. The research stage begins with distributing NBM questionnaires and then assesses descriptively. Furthermore, the chi square test plays a role in assessing the significant relationship. It was found that the dominant complaint point was the back. While the influential correlations include the left shoulder on BMI correlation- waist to height and age- hips to height- left elbow to height- right knee to BMI. It is hoped that an intervention is needed to minimize musculoskeletal disorders with post-driving stretching activities.
