与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病(WMSD)是主要的职业性损伤之一。WMSD与重复性任务相关。在汽车行业，有许多工作仍然需要工人执行重复性任务，并暴露在因WMSD而受伤的风险中。这项研究的目的是调查在汽车行业从事工业重复性工作的工人中WMSD的患病率。这一结果对于研究WMSD风险对工作效率的影响具有重要意义。这项调查是调查与WMSD相关的工作效率的初步研究。标准化的北欧肌肉骨骼问卷(NMQ)被分发给选定的汽车制造公司。结果发现，过去12个月MSD患病率最高的是颈部(49.3%)，其次是手/腕(48.0%)和肩部(46.7%)。工人MSD总体患病率较高(76.97%)。总而言之，在汽车制造公司从事工业重复性工作的工人暴露于WMSD的风险中，特别是在上肢区域，这可能导致上肢肌肉骨骼疾病。
Work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) is one of the major occupational injuries. WMSDs are associated with repetitive tasks. In the automotive industry, there are many jobs that still require workers to perform repetitive tasks and expose to the risk of injury due to WMSDs. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of WMSDs among workers performing industrial repetitive tasks in the automotive industry. The result is important to investigate the effect of WMSDs risk on the work productivity. This survey is the preliminary study to investigate the work productivity associated with WMSDs. The Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaires (NMQ) were distributed to the selected automotive manufacturing companies. The results found that the highest prevalence of MSDs for the last twelve months was on the neck (49.3%), followed by hand/wrist (48.0%) and shoulder (46.7%). The overall prevalence of MSDs among the workers was at a high rate (76.97%). In conclusion, the workers performing industrial repetitive tasks in the automotive manufacturing companies are exposed to the risk of WMSDs especially on the upper limb region that could lead to upper limb musculoskeletal disorders.
