Prevention of postural physical load in administrative areas 2016 Prevención de la carga física postural en áreas administrativas 2016

Abstract

Most occupational diseases registered in Colombia, is to due for a skeletal-muscle disorders. On this scientific research a proposal prevention was designed for postural physical burden of administrative areas in the city of Cali, Colombia, identifying the skeletal muscle morbidity and postural physical burden to which they are exposed workers and thereby determine the relationship between these. The analysis used was descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative, in a population of 42 workers in which data were collected morbidity felt the Nordic Kourinka questionnaire and postural factors derived from the physical load with Rula method. As a result of this analysis it was found that skeletal muscle symptoms that have prevented the job done in the last six (6) months were low back pain with 21% reporting the total population, on the other hand it was observed that 49% of the population requires redesign their work and research required; we can conclude that physical symptoms and postural load are associated with each other and could potentially cause pathologies related to skeletal muscle disorders.
