Sažetak
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders may affect the quality of work among workers in many occupations, and low back pain has been identified as one of the most costly disorders among the worldwide working population (Lis, A.M. et al. 2007). Many studies conducted around the world have found that urban bus drivers have a high prevalence rate of musculoskeletal pain, especially in the lower back. The City of Zagreb has about 400 ZET buses which represent one of the means to transport a large number of residents. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and incidence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among professional male bus drivers operating urban buses in Zagreb and to create guidelines for an interventional kinesiology program to increase the health of the musculoskeletal system in drivers. Methods: a total of 116 bus drivers participated in the study that consisted of a musculoskeletal pain questionnaire survey. The results show that 93.1% of the subjects reported musculoskeletal pain. In conclusion, the results of this study showed a very high rate of prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, which warrants further investigation and implementation of kinesiological interventions.
