URREJOLA-CONTRERAS, Gabriela Paz et al. Skeletal muscle disorder in the upper limb: risk assessment and intervention in workers in industrial area. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.1, pp.63-72. Epub 10-Maio-2021. ISSN 3020-1160.
Objectives:
Evaluate the risk of work activity evaluating the effects of an intervention on workers.
Material and Methods:
Experimental study on 69 male workers. Nordic and orthopedic questionnaire, TMERT, OCRA and RULA check list were applied. A mobile application was implemented to train workers in the management of signs and symptoms suggestive of musculoskeletal disorder.
Results:
89.6% of the workers presented pain. Risk factors considered by the TMERT, OCRA, and RULA check list were “high”, “elevated”, and “critical” respectively for the jobs examined. 54.35% of the workers used the mobile application. Positive evolution was on average 40% for hand and shoulder, 80% for bicipital involvement and carpal tunnel and 100% for epicondylitis.
Conclusions:
It is suggested to promote preventive intervention programs and to deepen the study on the effect of breaks and job rotation.
