Currently there is no relevant data on the subject in Ecuador, for this reason the research is important for a future study, since it will be investigated on the musculoskeletal disorders that are caused by the postural alterations and the activation of the musculature that make up the band Abdominal in older women users of chumbi, since when performing daily activities in the field this population requires using the musculature of the spine to perform activities that require a lot of muscular effort. The research according to the study method is descriptive and observational, it is also quantitative since the postural test was used and statistical data were handled that the software of the team assesses the muscular activity.
