G3-4 musculoskeletal discomforts among assembly team members performing assembly welding task

Work in the automotive assembly plant is physically strenuous and assembly team members are particularly at risk for developing symptoms of musculoskeletal discomforts (MSDs) compared to other sectors. The main aim of this study was to determine the prevalence rate of musculoskeletal discomforts bas...

The main aim of this study was to determine the prevalence rate of musculoskeletal discomforts based on the frequency, severity and performance interference among production assembly team members in an automotive component assembly plant. A cross-sectional study was carried out among the production assembly team members who performed manual assembly welding task. The Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire (CMDQ) data sheets were used in interview with the assembly team members to obtain the prevalence of MSDs. The prevalence of pain in the upper back, lower back, right shoulder and right wrist have been reported to be higher in comparison with pain in other parts of the body.
