Abstract

The rubber tapping process is still carried out manually, relying on human power, and is carried out repeatedly and has the potential to cause complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This research aims to describe the MSDs complaint factors felt by rubber-tapping farmers due to unergonomic working postures. Data collection was carried out in February-March 2024 among rubber tapping farmers in Sihopuk Baru village, East Halongonan subdistrict, North Padang Lawas district with a total sample of rubber tappers. The instrument used in collecting data on complaints from rubber-tapping farmers was the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire. The research results showed that the number of farmers who did not experience MSDs complaints was 36 people (72%) while the number of rubber tappers who experienced complaints was 14 people (28%). On the other hand, gender does not affect MSDs complaints, while age and work posture have a relationship with MSDs complaints.
