ABSTRACT
Background: The increasing consumer demand for online motorcycle taxi
transportation is related to the physical condition of the worker's body which can affect
muscle work. If the work lasts a long time without adequate rest, then the body's ability
will decrease and can cause disturbances in the limbs. Hand posture with repetitive
wrist hand movements, especially hand flexion and arm extension of motorists can
increase the risk of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Methods: The research is descriptive-analytic using an observational approach. The
respondents of this study were online motorcycle taxi drivers in the city of Malang who
met the inclusion criteria. The method used to obtain information from respondents is
the form of a questionnaire. Results: The normality test using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test obtained a data
distribution value of 0.000 which indicates that the data is abnormal. The results of the
hypothesis test of significance value (2-tailed) obtained results of 0.121 with
information H0 accepted and H1 rejected. Pearson Correlation shows the magnitude of
the relationship between the variable length of service and the dependent variable is
0.211, the value is included in the unrelated category. Conclusion: The research conducted shows that there is not a relationship between
years of service and a mild risk of carpal tunnel syndrome among online motorcycle taxi
drivers in Malang City
