Item Facilitación Neuromuscular Propioceptiva aplicada a trabajadores de fábricas de lácteos con dolor de espalda baja(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de Posgrados, 2023-07-06) Pérez Castro, Cemira Michelle; Ortiz Villalba, Paola GabrielaLow back pain, associated with work, is considered a very frequent musculoskeletal disorder, generating alterations, limitations, injuries and even states of temporary and permanent disability, which disturb the health of those who suffer from it, as well as the productivity of the company.; Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation is one of the most effective physiotherapy treatments, although its efficacy has not yet been measured in dairy factory workers. In this way, in the present study, it was proposed to establish the efficacy of the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation technique in reducing low back pain in workers in dairy factories, through a comparative study between longitudinal cohort groups of 25 who met the criteria. Inclusion and exclusion criteria; randomly assigned to group A that applied PNF (n=13) and group B that was the control group (n=12). An initial assessment was made and a final assessment 12 weeks later, where pain intensity, associated disability index and quality of life were measured. The results indicated significant differences between significant measures (p < 005) for the group that applied FNP, and in the comparison between groups, significant differences were found after the application of the protocol (p < 005) in all the variables. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of a PNF protocol in dairy factory workers is effective in reducing pain, disability associated with non-specific low back pain, and improving quality of life.Item Programa de ejercicios basado en el método pilates para la flexibilidad muscular en trabajadores avícolas(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de Posgrados, 2023-07-06) Pérez Cunalata, Alex Omar; Ortiz Villalba, Paola GabrielaMusculoskeletal disorders in poultry workers range from mild discomfort to severe pain and illness; mainly caused by workload, lack of flexibility and aspects of the organization. Thus, one of the most effective interventions are Pilates exercises due to their positive effects on the physical and emotional condition in general. In this way, it was proposed to design an exercise program based on Pilates to improve muscle flexibility in POULTRY workers; for which an observational study of longitudinal cohort was developed, in 29 workers from the production area of the Cecilita poultry company that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The intensity of pain was assessed with the visual analog scale and the level of flexibility with the Flexitest, to determine the needs of the workers and design the program, as well as a review of the literature to establish the appropriate dose. Then the program was validated by expert judgment and it was applied for 12 weeks and the intensity of the pain and the level of flexibility were re-evaluated. The results showed significant clinical and statistical improvements in the entire population, decreasing the intensity of pain from moderate and severe to mild (p=0.000) and improving flexibility from levels 1 and 2, which are poor and medium, to level 3, which is good flexibility. (p=0.000) after the program. In this way, it is concluded that a program of active breaks based on Pilates improves muscle flexibility and decreases the intensity of pain in poultry workers.Item Técnica abdominal hipopresiva para disminuir el dolor lumbar crónico de tipo inespecífico en el personal administrativo(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de Posgrados, 2023-07-06) Mantilla Cifuentes, Luis Alberto; Vaca Sánchez, María AlexandraNon-specific low back pain is a very important socio-sanitary problem, since it represents the second cause of chronic pain and disability worldwide; In addition, it includes the pathology with the greatest burden of disability. Its clinical and therapeutic approach is oriented towards the administration of drugs and conventional physiotherapy, which have not been able to reduce the chronicity of the condition or recurrences; Therefore, new trends suggest the application of exercises such as hypopressive abdominals, whose benefits are already known. In this way, it was proposed to determine the effects of the hypopressive abdominal technique on non-specific chronic low back pain in administrative personnel, through a descriptive, longitudinal cohort study and a quantitative approach; on 30 workers from the Cotocollao clinic who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pain intensity was measured with the Lattineen index and the level of disability associated with low back pain with the Oswestry index, both before and after the application of the intervention. The hypopressive exercise program was applied for 12 weeks after its review and validation under expert judgment. The results demonstrated a clinical improvement, where the clinical symptoms decreased and there were significant differences between the measures (p<= 0.05). In this way, it is concluded that the hypopressive abdominal technique reduces pain and the level of disability associated with non-specific low back pain in workers of the Cotocollao clinic.Item Técnica de Maitland en zona subcraneal en trabajadores de tecnología industrial con cefalea cervicogénica(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de Posgrados, 2023-06-29) Calero Cáceres, Mery Estefanía; Peñafiel Luna, Andrea CarolinaCervicogenic headache affects a large number of office and industrial technology workers, causing persistent and limiting pain in the head, shoulders, and upper back; generating high costs for compensation and treatment of affected workers. Conventional treatments do not resolve recurrences, but nowadays manual therapy is applied, but with very little scientific evidence of the effects of certain techniques. In this way, through the following study, the effect of the Maitland technique was determined to reduce cervicogenic headaches in industrial technology workers, through a non-experimental, longitudinal study and under a quantitative approach in 26 workers. T- Control. An initial evaluation of the clinical picture of cervicogenic headache was made in relation to pain intensity through the visual analog scale (VAS), the cervical disability index (NDI) and the impact of headache on daily activities. daily (HIT-6), in order to design a guide and validate it through expert judgment and content validation coefficient calculation (CVC). The guideline was applied for 6 weeks with a frequency of 3 times a week and a duration of 20 min. for session. The results revealed a decrease in pain intensity, cervical disability and the impact of headache and significant differences between measurements of all variables (p<0.05). Concluding in the elaboration of a Maitland mobilization guide by determining the positive effects in the reduction of the clinical picture of cervicogenic headaches in industrial technology workers, related to pain intensity, cervical disability and the impact of headache on daily activities.Item Programa de pausas activas como estrategia en el manejo de la sintomatología musculoesquelética en el personal de oficina(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de Posgrados, 2023-06-28) Molina Andrade, Verónica Lucia; Arcos Reina, Rafael AndrésThe working day entails a lot of downtime for the worker, causing from slight discomfort, recurring pain to temporary and permanent injuries that represent a high socio-sanitary expense; It also has a great economic impact for the company. Thus, the evidence recommends active breaks (PA) as an effective and economical tool to reduce the effects of occupational risks, but there is no specific exercise program or structure according to the needs of each field or work context. Thus, it was proposed to design a program of active breaks as a strategy in the management of musculoskeletal symptoms in office personnel; Through a study of observations of longitudinal type and quantitative approach, to 26 workers of the Ecuadorian Red Cross Provincial Board of Pichincha. From the review of the literature and an evaluation with the Nordic Standardized Questionnaire and the EVA scale, the appropriate exercises for the population and their dosage were established, designing a program, which was validated by the judgment of three experts and content validation coefficient calculation (CVC), for its application during 8 weeks, with a frequency of 3 times a week, and a time of 20 min for session. The results revealed a greater frequency of discomfort in the neck, shoulders and thoracolumbar region, a decrease in musculoskeletal symptoms in frequency, duration, and intensity of both clinical and statistical pain (p=0.000). In this way, it is concluded that a program of active breaks based on Yoga has effects on the musculoskeletal symptoms of office workers.
