A retrospective investigation of the medical records of the Urban Health Center of the ESFORSE - Ambato was carried out and the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders of the active duty military was determined in the period from March to June of 2017. Patients in the range of ages with higher incidence who were 30 to 39 years old with 49% of attentions for such disorders, patients of activity or function with higher incidence of disorders were instructors with 39.7% of cases, pathology with the highest incidence is the lumbago with sciatica with 24.7% of the disorders.
