Prevención de trastornos por uso excesivo de extremidad superior: esquemas de trabajo-pausa

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to establish the effects of four work-pause outlines, at a fish- processing plant in the perception of muscle and skeletical nuisances referred by workers, as well as the tendencies that experienced the yield and the quality of their work. In the study, twelve women workers were included, with the application of a survey that identifies the most affected areas of the body and the intensity of the symptoms. The results allow us to point out that a pause of six minutes for each working hour plus compensatory exercises is required to avoid muscle pain.
