    Muscular skeletal pathologies are a group of lesions that present a high prevalence as they affect a large number of people, even more so to people who use their skeletal muscle to perform physical activities such as those of a military profession which are constantly subjected to heavy physical loads due to their arduous physical training. The lack of training prior to physical activities greatly influences the appearance of these alterations that manifest with pain and loss of mobility, thus diminishing the physical capacity of the military. The present study aims to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in the military who attend the physical therapy area of the BFE N.- 9 PATRIA polyclinic in the period August 2015 to August 2016 of the city of Latacunga in the province of Cotopaxi. For that we used the technique of observation and data collection that were provided by the statistical area of the polyclinic of BFE N.- 9 PATRIA.
