<![CDATA[Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a neuropathy of the wrist caused by the compression within the carpal tunnel, which puts pressure on the median nerve. Riding a motorcycle combines the risk factors for CTS, including grip strength and repetitive movements. The flexibility of working hours has led to an increase in the number of online motorcycle taxi workers. This research uses a cross-sectional design, and the sample consisted of 82 individuals selected using purposive sampling technique. Research data were processed using the Chi-Square test. The duration of motorcycle riding, categorized as either ≥8 hours per day or <8 hours per day, is associated with a risk of developing CTS. The results of the questionnaire indicated that the most common CTS symptoms reported by ojek online workers was tingling, experienced by 70.73% of respondents, while the least reported symptom was difficulty grasping or using small objects, reported by 23.17% of participants. The Chi-Square analysis test revealed no significant difference in the incidence of CTS complaints between those who rode motorbike for ≥8 hours and thos who rode <8 hours per day among Ojek Online workers in Cimahi (pvalue 0.635). This insignificant difference may be due to other risk factors that influence the emergence of CTS in Ojek Online workers. DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v3n2.p68-74 REFERENCES Maher, A. B. (2016).
