Abstract

Introduction: Porters often face the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, including Low Back Pain (LBP), due to non-ergonomic working postures while lifting loads. LBP is a condition with an increasing prevalence, reaching 619 million cases in 2020 and projected to rise to 834 million by 2025. In Indonesia, the prevalence of joint disorders is recorded at 7.3%, while in North Sulawesi, the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders reached 24.7% in 2018, with a significant increase in LBP cases in 2019. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between load-lifting positions and LBP complaints using the Ovako Work Posture Analysis System (OWAS). Methods: This research is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design involving 40 porters at Kalimas Port, Manado. Data were collected through observation, the Nordic Body Map questionnaire, and work posture assessments using OWAS. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman correlation test. Results and Discussion: Most workers exhibited non-ergonomic work postures, such as bending their backs (100%) and lifting loads heavier than 20 kg (10%). A total of 72.5% of workers reported varying intensities of LBP complaints. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between load-lifting positions and LBP complaints (p<0.001) with a strong correlation (r=0.550). Conclusion: Non-ergonomic load-lifting positions are significantly associated with LBP complaints among porters at Kalimas Port, Manado. Ergonomic improvements are necessary to reduce the risk of injurie

Abstract

Background: The ROM value of a joint indicates the flexibility of that joint. An increase in BMI value is one of the factors that can cause ROM values to decrease and will affect muscle and joint strength. Several studies have linked increased BMI with decreased ROM where obese populations have limited ROM compared to non-obese populations. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and range of motion (ROM) of articulatio talocruralis in the elderly in Wioi Village, Regency. Southeast Minahasa. Methods: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross sectional approach. The instruments used in this study were digital scales and stature meters to measure BMI, and goniometers to measure ROM. The research sample was selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were tested using binary logistic regression analysis method. Results: Of the 51 respondents studied, binary logistic regression analysis showed an effect of BMI on Dorsiflexion (p = 0.023, β = -0.197) and Plantarflexion (p = 0.014, β = -0.254), but no effect of age on Dorsiflexion (p = 0.635, β = -0.022) and Plantarflexion (p = 0.173, β = -0.069). Conclusion: Body mass index (BMI) affects the range of motion (ROM) of articulatio talocruralis, but age does not affect the range of motion (ROM) of articulatio talocruralis in the elderly in Wioi Village, Regency. Southeast Minahasa.
