Pekerjaan mekanik kendaraan niaga melibatkan postur dan aktivitas fisik yang dapat disertai keluhan muskuloskeletal. Penelitian ini bertujuan memetakan lokasi dan intensitas keluhan pada tiga mekanik Bengkel X menggunakan Nordic Body Map (NBM). Penelitian kuantitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kasus menggunakan NBM pada 28 bagian tubuh berskala 1–4 dan pertanyaan jawaban jamak mengenai aktivitas yang dipersepsikan berkaitan dengan keluhan. Enam bagian tubuh memenuhi kriteria operasional dominan, yaitu leher bagian atas, leher bagian bawah, bahu kiri, bahu kanan, punggung, dan pinggang. Punggung menunjukkan pola paling konsisten dengan skor 3 pada seluruh mekanik. Dari 84 penilaian bagian tubuh, 45,2% termasuk tidak sakit, 40,5% agak sakit, dan 14,3% sakit. Temuan bersifat spesifik pada studi kasus ini dan dapat digunakan sebagai skrining awal untuk memprioritaskan asesmen ergonomi objektif di Bengkel X.
Commercial vehicle mechanics perform physically demanding tasks that may be associated with musculoskeletal complaints. This study aimed to identify the location and intensity of musculoskeletal complaints among three mechanics at Workshop X using the Nordic Body Map (NBM). A descriptive quantitative case-study design was applied. The NBM assessed 28 body regions on a 1–4 scale, supplemented by multiple-response questions on activities perceived to trigger complaints. Six body regions met the dominant-complaint criterion: upper neck, lower neck, left shoulder, right shoulder, back, and lower back. The back showed the most consistent complaint intensity, with all mechanics reporting a score of 3. Of 84 body-region ratings, 45.2% were classified as no pain, 40.5% as mild pain, and 14.3% as pain. These findings provide preliminary screening information for prioritizing objective ergonomic assessment at Workshop X and should not be interpreted as population prevalence or causal evidence.
