Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are widespread through the world and are the second most common cause of disability in work setting. There are many method used to analyse MSDs to know the reality situation and affacted to the employess The review is to compare in terms of design, methodology, approach and identify the equipment and method used from the previous researchers that have many advantages dan disadvantage of the method to come out the best suggestion of equipment and method proper to used and improvement that should be do for the future researchers. The relevant literature was obtained from the following strategy. Kerwords were idenfied after a scoping study into the some types of MSDs analysis by focusing on the equipment and method. A number of articles between 2010-2021 were extracted from Google Scholar database using keywords of “musculoskeletal disorders analysis”, “ergonomics analysis” and “ MSD identification”. The study found that most of the method in MSD more focus on the Questionnare as the Method of data in analysis for MSD. However, it is more to after injuries of MSDs happened, but not focusing on method to avoid the MSD form happed. Thus, this paper provide the suggestion preventive strategies for the futures researcher to go futher in MSD to tackle the improvement before real MSDs happedned.
