Bicycle repairing at Jabalpur in the Madhya Pradesh state of India employs a large number of local youths. In this sector occupational ergonomic issues of Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) are a big problem and a threat to this profession.
The objective of this study was to identify the different ergonomic risk factors for Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) in the job of bicycle repairing.
Still photography and video photography was used to record different activities. Different types of non-invasive tools like Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), and Occupational Repetitive Action Index (OCRA) were used. Psychophysical measures were investigated by rated perceived exertion scale and visual analogue scale.
OVAKO scores (4), REBA scores (13/13), RULA scores (8/8) were extremely high, indicating immediate intervention.
The results indicate that the different tasks in this profession are in the high risk category and demands immediate ergonomic intervention in the form of re-design of the tools used and work station or/and the design of the work process.
印度中央邦贾巴尔普尔的自行车修理行业雇佣了大量当地青年。在这个行业中，与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSDs）的职业工效学问题是一个大问题，对这个职业构成威胁。
本研究的目的是确定自行车修理工作中与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSDs）的不同工效学风险因素。
使用静态摄影和视频摄影记录不同活动。使用了不同类型的非侵入性工具，如快速全身评估（REBA）、快速上肢评估（RULA）和职业重复动作指数（OCRA）。通过主观用力感觉量表和视觉模拟量表调查心理生理指标。
OVAKO评分（4）、REBA评分（13/13）、RULA评分（8/8）极高，表明需要立即干预。
结果表明，该行业的不同任务处于高风险类别，需要立即进行工效学干预，形式包括重新设计所用工具和工作站，以及/或者重新设计工作流程。
