Item Prevención de lesiones musculoesqueléticas en estudiantes que reciben clases en su domicilio de la carrera de Enfermería de la Universidad Estatal de Bolívar(Universdidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de posgrados, 2021-07-01) Pilco Toscano, Cynthia Elizabeth Lcda.; Arellano Franco, Luis Felipe Lcdo. Ft Mg.Musculoskeletal disorders are associated with repetitive work, which lead to a series of health problems ranging from minor pain to permanent patient’s disability problems. In consideration to the high prevalence of this type of problem, the present study evaluated the effectiveness of a program for the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries in students of the fourth semester of nursing career from the State University of Bolivar receiving classes in their houses. For this, a quasi-experimental investigation was carried out including 34 students who receive classes at home to whom a survey to collect information on sociodemographic variables and the conditions of the place where they receive classes was applied. Also, presence of musculoskeletal symptoms was determined by applying the Nordic questionnaire. After that, an intervention program consisting of capacitation about ergonomics, stretching and active pause for four consecutive weeks was applied. The 90.9% of the students reported some type of musculoskeletal pain, being more frequent in the neck (94.1%), in the lumbar region (79.45%) and the shoulder (70.6%), of the which most of the interviewees described intermediate pain levels in neck (41.2%), shoulder (29.4%) and dorsal or lumbar (29.4%), while the majority did not declare discomfort in elbow and forearm and wrist and hand. After the intervention, a tendency to decrease pain levels was observed in the different parts of the body evaluated. Based on the results, the positive effect of the intervention plan on the improvement of the musculoskeletal pain of the intervened patients is demonstrated, so it is suggested to apply this type of programs in other careers.Item “Intervención en las alteraciones músculo-esqueléticas mediante la aplicación de pausas activas en el personal que labora en el sis ecu - 911 en la provincia de Tungurahua”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Terapia Física, 2020-02-01) Quijije Caina, Cynthia Lizbeth; Ortiz Villalba, Paola GabrielaLcda. Mg.The musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are frequently associated with the ergonomic factor risks which characteristic include the labor stress, awkward posture or neutral position deviation of body while doing work activities. These disorders appear frequently in the neck, shoulders and low back. So, the present research aims to decrease impact of musculoskeletal disorders through the application of active breaks in staff working in the SIS ECU – 911, who keep prolonged sitting position during all the work day. In addition to this, sedentarism predisposes them to development these. This research has a quantitative, experimental and descriptive approach. t is started with the evaluation of ERGOPAR V2.0 method, ergonomic evaluation ISO 11228-3 part 3: handling of low loads at high frequency, visual analogue scale (VAS), cervical spine goniometry. Also, Adams, Fingertips-to-floor distance (FTF), Spurling and Romberg test. The active breaks program intervention was applied to 76 participants, 4 interventions per week for 9 weeks. The correct exercises execution individually in the workplace was taught and controlled. Active breaks started with breathing exercises, joint mobility and held stretching of cervical, dorsal, lumbar, upper and lower limbs muscles. After the active breaks program intervention and the final evaluation with the applied test, the reduction of the impact of musculoskeletal disorders of staff working is determined.
