The agricultural sector has a fairly high health risk due to exposure to wrong work postures. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between work posture and symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in farmers in Lembang Nonongan Village, Sopai District, North Toraja Regency. This type of research is an analytic observational study with a cross sectional design. The sampling method is exhaustive sampling, with a total sample of 43 people. Data were collected using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) sheet to measure work posture and the Nordic Body Map (NBM) sheet to measure the level of respondents' complaints. This study was analyzed using the chi square test with a 95% confidence degree (α=0.05). The results of this study indicate that the majority of rice farmers experience symptoms of MSDs with severe complaints as many as 31 people (72.1%) and work postures with high risk as many as 35 people (81.4%). There is a significant relationship between work posture and symptoms of MSDS (p-value=0.028). It is recommended that farmers when carrying out the process of lifting rice sacks that have a heavy load to use assistive devices so as not to exacerbate the high risk of MSDs.

Background: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are a public concern to social-care and health systems, as well as individuals. Globally, WRMSDs are classified as one of the prevalent causes of disability. Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to determine work-related risk associated with musculoskeletal disorders amongst flower farm workers. The secondary objective was to determine the relationship between WRMSD risk over the previous 12 months and socio-demographic characteristics. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. A sample of 270 participants was drawn from 897 farm workers, of which 184 presented with WRMSD as assessed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Quantitative data were collected using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment questionnaire. Inferential statistics were analyzed using the Pearson's chi-squared test (X2) test and based on an alpha level of p< 0.05. Descriptive statistics were presented using frequencies and percentages. Results: Respondents who reported medium risk were 49 (26.6%), 80 (43.5%) reported high risk while 55 (29.9%) reported very high risk. There was no relationship between WRMSD risk and socio-demographic characteristics. Conclusions: Flower farm workers in Kenya were found to be at risk of sustaining WRMSDs although socio-demographic factors did not play a role in the level of risk. Clinical Implications: The high prevalence of WRMSDs necessitates policy reform in the flower farm industry. Furthermore, the timely identification of potential disorders and the associated risk factors is necessary to ensure early intervention.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and determine factors influencing MSDs among rice farmers. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional study was carried out among 156 rice farmers from 14 villages in Tarnlalord sub-district, Phimai district, Nakhon Ratchasima province, Thailand, from February 2017 to March 2017. Face-to-face interviews, including demographics, work characteristics and musculoskeletal pain, were conducted using a modified standardized Nordic questionnaire. Findings The results revealed that both 78 males and 78 females participated in the study to which the average of age and body mass index (BMI) was 45.5±11.4 years and 24.9±4.0 kg/m2, respectively. All rice farmers reported MSDs in at least one body region during the six months preceding the interview. The highest prevalence of MSDs showed 86.5 percent in the lower back area, followed by 85.9 percent in the neck, and 80.7 percent in the shoulders. The analysis of binary logistic regression and Spearman’s rank correlation showed that factors such as gender, age, BMI, work experience and farm size influence MSDs’ occurrence, and pain severity in one or more body regions (p < 0.05). Originality/value Musculoskeletal injuries are a significant health problem in rice farmers. The study indicated that appropriate agricultural practices such as working posture, equipment size selection and carrying loads should be recommended to prevent MSDs. Thus, the occupational health and safety services in agricultural workers are needed.

Musculoskeletal problems are problematic in Indonesia because manual work activities such as lifting, transporting, pulling and pushing are still being done. Pottery-making workers in the Kasongan are still doing those moves traditionally such as lifting, transporting, pulling and pushing manually. The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk of MSDs in the pottery making workers in Kasongan. This research was cross sectional design. The sample amounted to 78 workers selected using accidental sampling techniques. The instruments used Nordic Body Map questionnaire and Rapid Entire Body Assessment. Data analysis was using the chi fisher test. The results showed that the variables associated were age (sig= 0.000) and variables that had no relationship were gender (sig= 0.341) and work posture (sig= 0.352). The risk factor associated with complaints of MSDs is age, so to reduce the risk of the occurrence of MSDs, they can do physical activity or stretch muscles.
