Abstract
As we all know, online motorcycle taxis have become a necessity in the current pandemic era. With the existence of online motorcycle taxis, many activities that we have been wary of doing, especially during a pandemic like the current one, have been resolved with the help of these drivers. His job online motorcycle taxi driver is influenced by work posture, body performance, and physical load—excessive workloads and work postures that are not ergonomic cause drivers to have to spend more energy. The drivers experience fatigue more quickly and can cause musculoskeletal complaints. This research is an observational analytic study with a total sample of 11 respondents. The research method used is an analytical method using a Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire. Meanwhile, the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) measures ergonomic risk related to body posture. The data that has been collected was analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis. The analysis results show the value of sig. (2-tailed) the t-test is 0.000, which means a significant relationship between the NBM value and the perceived complaint status. The correlation coefficient value is 0.960, indicating a high association between the NBM value and the complaint status felt by online motorcycle taxi drivers. So the higher the NBM value, the higher the pain felt by online motorcycle taxi drivers
