Item Riesgo de desarrollar trastornos musculoesqueléticos en personal de mecánica automotriz(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Terapia Física, 2020-08-01) Alvarez Chacón, María Alejandra; Lcda. Lata Sánchez, María AugustaMusculoskeletal injuries constitute one of the most important causes of morbidity in the health field; There is a high prevalence of chronic injuries, attributed to the great physical and postural requirement at work, for this reason it was proposed to identify the level of risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders in automotive mechanics, GAB MOTORS, for which it was structured a record of information to determine the most common injuries, in terms of type, duration, location and treatment received; To identify the positions with the highest level of risk, the OWAS Method was applied, with which it obtained the global level of risk by posture and the relative frequency by segment in each posture to finally relate the level of risk with the presence and duration of musculoskeletal injuries , the study was conducted in 12 automotive mechanic workers. It was obtained that the most frequent lesion was the contractures followed by tendinitis, lasting between 2 to 4 months and especially located in the back, the majority of postures did not represent an irrigation, but if levels 2, 3 and up to 4 were found They were suggested to be operated immediately, finally there was a significant relationship of (0.029) between musculoskeletal injuries and the level of risk.
