This systematic review investigates the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) within the oil palm industry, where the incidence is high due to the widespread use of manual tools, despite the availability of intervention tools in the market. The objectives of this review are twofold: To identify and summarise studies focusing on WMSDs prevalence in oil palm plantation work, and to examine research related to biomechanical evaluations and the design of intervention tools aimed at addressing WMSDs. A comprehensive search of databases including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect was conducted, covering articles published from 2013 to 2023. From the initial pool of 245 articles identified, a rigorous selection process yielded 27 studies meeting the inclusion criteria for this review. The majority of these studies were conducted in Malaysia (22 studies), with additional contributions from Thailand (2 studies), Colombia (2 studies), and Indonesia (1 study). In conclusion, WMSDs prevalence remains alarmingly high in oil palm plantation works. However, promising approaches utilising modern tools such as inertial measurement units (IMU) and electromyography (EMG) for direct measurement, as well as sophisticated human musculoskeletal model simulation in software like AnyBody, have been explored in some studies, indicating avenues for future intervention strategies.
