Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), characterized by pain, stiffness, numbness, and other physical discomforts in the muscles and supporting structures, are prevalent among online motorcycle drivers due to prolonged sitting, limited rest, and repetitive movements. This study aimed to analyze individual factors associated with MSD complaints among Grab-Bike drivers in Purwokerto. A cross-sectional study was conducted using accidental sampling with 77 respondents from a population of 330 drivers. Data were collected using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire and analyzed through univariate, bivariate (chi-square and Spearman correlation), and multivariate (multiple logistic regression) analyses. The findings showed that age (p = 0.042) and length of employment (p = 0.026) were significantly associated with MSD complaints, while body mass index, smoking habits, exercise habits, and history of musculoskeletal disease showed no significant association. The most influential factor was length of employment. These results suggest that prolonged work duration may increase the risk of MSDs among online drivers. Regular health monitoring and workload adjustments are recommended to reduce MSD risks in this occupational group.
