Summary: | Background. Work-related musculoskeletal disorder is one of occupational
disorders that has high prevalence in manufacturing field in Indonesia including
textile manufacture. The workers who have long and repeated activities such as
sticking up, bending and doing non-ergonomic actions have suffered from
musculoskeletal symptoms. Most of the preventive approaches to reduce those
symptoms are difficult to be applied so that those symptoms are still the problems
deteriorating their function. One of the alternative ways that is considered to be
safe, effective, easy and cheap to treat them is an oral administration of
neurotropic vitamin tablet, combination of vitamins B1, B6 and B12. Those
vitamins are popular as neurotropic agent as its effect on nervous system and their
�analgesic like effect� to relief musculoskeletal pain.
Purpose. The aim of this study is to observe whether the administration of
neurotropic vitamin tablet can reduce the musculoskeletal disorder of loom
operators in textile manufacture
Methods. This was a quasi experimental study with one group pretest and posttest
design. Eighty three subjects of loom operators at PT. A Yogyakarta were
included in this study and administered by neurotropic vitamin tablet once a day
in 30 days . We observed the condition of musculoskeletal symptoms before-after
the vitamins administration by using Standardized Nordic Questionnaire (SNQ).
Result. The administration of neurotropic vitamin tablet was proven to be able to
reduce the musculoskeletal symptoms that is suffered from in 12 months before
administration in the area of neck and hind head, shoulder, upper back, elbow,
gluteal muscle, leg and ankle. It also could reduce the daily disturbance in several
areas of neck and hind back, shoulder, elbow, upper back, gluteal muscle, leg and
ankle. The symptoms in seven days before and after administration have also been
reduced especially in the area of neck and hind back, shoulder, elbow, upper back,
gluteal area, leg and ankle.
Conclusion. The administration of neurotropic vitamin tablet to loom operators
could reduce musculoskeletal symptoms. This administration can be the
alternative approach that is effective, safe and cheap to treat those symptoms in
occupational disorders apart from finding out its etiology. |
