Abstract

Muscle fatigue is a situation where a person has difficulty recovering from muscle overtired ness,thus requiring medical attention.Many activities in daily life can cause muscle fatigue.Muscle fatigue in neck,shoulder, waist and back was experienced by the driver during long-term period driving.The scope of this project is focused on study area of muscle fatigue in musculos keletal disorders among Malaysian driver.The main objective of this research writing is to investigate the muscle activity of male and female drivers.14 respondents (7 male and 7 female) was participated in this research.One type model of national car is used in this experiment, which is Proton Saga FLX l.3L.The road selection of every journey for this experiment was started from the roadside of SPA highway,Ayer Keroh,Melaka to Plaza Toll Tangkak Inbound,Johor.Delsys TRIGNO Wireless System device is used in order to detect the electrical signals from muscle activity.The electrodes from the device will be placed at the user's arm during test drive session.Two types of hand position at steering wheel will be used during test drive,9 - 3 O'clock and LO-2 O'clock.The results are based on two genders and they are categorized into different range of Body Mass Index (BMI).In order to compute the electric signal from physical motion in the motor unit during muscle contraction,Root Mean Square (RMS) value has been used.As a conclusion,higher value ofRMS are produced by male than female.Besides,men's muscle activity took less time to fatigue than women based on the recorded data.
