Is the Duration Of Riding Vespas Related To The Risk Of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Abstract
Vespa is a popular scooter vehicle in Indonesia. The Vespa rider tends to use their wrist in flexion and extension positions while driving, especially when pulling vespa gas, controlling the brakes, and changing the gears. This repetitive movement could affect the suppression of the median nerve and cause the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. The observational, analytic descriptive design was used to see the relationship between the duration of a Vespa ride and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome in Vespa riders. 50 respondents were chosen using purposive sampling with inclusion and exclusion criteria in the Vespa Motorbike community of Malang City. A Carpal Tunnel Syndrome questionnaire was used to assess the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. The Spearman Test was used to examine the relationship between both variables. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS. The normality test showed the failure of the number of rearing data (p<0,05). The Spearman test revealed that both groups had a significant relationship (p=0,002). We concluded that there is a relationship between the duration of riding and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome in Vespa riders.
