Abstract:
Introduction
This study examines musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) prevalent among motorcycle riders in Tehran, focusing on the association between MSDs and various factors, including riding conditions, motorcycle brands, and maintenance considerations.
Methods and Materials / Case Report
A total of 105 motorcycle riders were assessed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, complemented by interviews to gather comprehensive data. The questionnaire and interviews were utilized to identify prevalent MSDs among the riders and understand the influencing factors, such as riding habits, motorcycle brands, and maintenance routines.
Results
The analysis revealed that riders commonly reported MSDs in areas such as the shoulders, neck, lower back, and upper back. Additionally, a significant correlation was observed between the type of motorcycle brand and the occurrence of MSDs, notably with CG motorcycles. The interviews highlighted that continuous work without adequate rest had a pronounced impact on the development of MSDs. Furthermore, riders associated lower CG prices and ease of repair with increased use of CG motorcycles, potentially exacerbating MSDs.
Conclusion
This study emphasizes the elevated prevalence of MSDs among motorcycle riders in Tehran, particularly in relation to specific body areas and motorcycle brands. The findings underscore the influence of riding conditions, including uninterrupted work and motorcycle features like brand and repair considerations, on the occurrence of MSDs.
