Abstract

Background: Not all of awkward postures that exist in the industry should be eliminated. Due to the fact, awkward posture can not be separated from daily work activities. Any movement that makes the body angle away from the normal position, can be said to be an awkward posture. Misconceptions related to the concept of awkward posture are followed by the fact that the assessment’s concepts of the observation method that are often used to assess awkward postures (REBA, RULA, and OWAS) is not accordance with the theory it should be. That condition can reduce the effectiveness of controlling musculoskeletal system disorders. To overcome this, it is necessary to review the literature that explains what variables can affect the severity of awkward postures. Method: This study uses a narrative literature review method with the aim is for describing the relationship between duration, frequency, and angle inclination of posture with the severity of awkward postures. Results: 15 literatures were obtained from the online databases of Science Direct, ProQuest, and Google Scholar, with details of 9 literatures using the semi-experimental method, 5 literatures using the cross sectional method, and 1 literature using the systematic literature study method. Conclusion: Based on results of the literature, there are some evidences that proof the linear relationship between the duration, frequency, and angle inclination of postures with the severity of awkward postures.

Bahasa Abstract

Latar Belakang: Tidak semua postur janggal yang ada di industri harus dihilangkan. Karena faktanya, postur janggal tidak dapat dipisahkan dari aktivitas kerja sehari-hari. Setiap ada pergerakan yang membuat sudut tubuh menjauhi posisi normal, dapat dikatakan sebagai postur janggal. Kesalahpahaman terkait konsep dari postur janggal terlebih diikuti dengan fakta bahwa konsep penilaian metode observasi yang sering digunakan untuk menilai postur janggal (REBA, RULA, dan OWAS) kurang sesuai dengan teori yang seharusnya, dapat menurunkan keefektifan pencegahan dan pengendalian gangguan sistem muskuloskeletal. Untuk mengatasi hal itu, maka diperlukan kajian literatur yang menjelaskan variabel apa saja yang dapat mempengaruhi tingkat keparahan postur janggal. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka naratif dengan tujuan untuk menggambarkan bagaimana hubungan antara durasi, frekuensi, dan sudut kemiringan postur dengan tingkat keparahan postur janggal. Hasil: Didapatkan 15 literatur yang berasal dari pangkalan data online Science Direct, ProQuest, dan Google Cendekia, dengan rincian 9 literatur menggunakan metode semi-eksperimental, 5 literatur menggunakan metode cross sectional, dan 1 literatur menggunakan metode studi pustaka sistematik. Kesimpulan: Berdasarkan hasil literatur tersebut, didapatkan bukti adanya hubungan yang linear antara durasi, frekuensi, dan sudut kemiringan postur dengan tingkat keparahan postur janggal.

Kata Kunci: Postur Janggal, Gangguan Sistem Muskuloskeletal, Durasi, Frekuensi, Sudut Inklinasi.
