Análisis de la biomecánica del movimiento en trabajadores de empresas proveedoras de corte y cosido de plasticaucho industrial Ambato

Abstract

The objective of this research project is to analyze the biomechanics of the movements in the activities carried out by the workers of the cutting and sewing supplier company of Plasticaucho industrial Ambato. The research carried out is of a prospective transverse quantitative type, carried out with a census sample of 15 factory workers from different areas. For data collection, sociodemographic data, questions about work activities, evaluation of isometric muscle strength with dynamometer and assessment of ergonomic risk level with the REBA method were used. An ergonomic risk level was obtained 11 workers had an average risk level, 2 in high and 1 in very high, so none were excluded from injury. The strength of the flexor muscles of the fingers and external rotators were related to ergonomic risk, that is to say the more strength they presented in these muscles the greater the risk of developing musculoskeletal alterations. The limitation of the study was that not all upper limb muscles were evaluated, recommending that future research if they do, likewise the company was recommended to include a program active break to improve productivity.
