As Lesões por Esforço Repetitivo/Distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho apareceram com maior incidência a partir do final dos anos 70, com destaque na década de 80. Atualmente um problema significativo entre trabalhadores nos mais diversos segmentos laborais, ocasionando elevado contingente de trabalhadores lesionados com prejuízo para saúde e consequentemente para produção, justificando a importância de estudos dessa temática. O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar o perfil de adoecimento por LER/DORT de usuários do Centro de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador de uma cidade de médio porte no interior de São Paulo, entre o período de 2016 a 2017. A coleta de dados foi realizada a partir de um banco de dados informatizado, onde são registradas informações pessoais e profissionais dos usuários, bem como registro de acompanhamento e evolução do tratamento. Para a análise dos resultados foram aplicados cálculos de estatística descritiva. Os resultados revelaram prevalência da Síndrome do Manguito Rotador, seguida da Dor Lombar Baixa e Síndrome do Túnel do Carpo. Estas foram mais frequentes em mulheres, trabalhadoras domésticas, com predomínio de adoecimento acima de 40 anos de idade e em relação à evolução clínica houve predomínio de alta por melhora e elevada evasão do tratamento. Espera-se que os resultados ofereçam subsídios para a implantação de ações de prevenção e promoção da saúde, bem como de intervenção junto aos trabalhadores, além de nortear políticas públicas de atenção a essa população. AbstractRepetitive Strain Injury / Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders appeared with greater incidence from the late 1970s onwards, especially in the 1980s.

Set Up

ABSTRACT Dentists and dental hygienists are at risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders compared to the general population. The most frequent injuries occur in the spine (neck and back), shoulders, elbows and hands. While specific procedures place the clinician at increased risk for finger and hand injuries, poor posture is a risk factor with all procedures. Sitting in an appropriate chair, using magnification for visualization, and the selection of ergonomically-friendly equipment are essential for the health of dental clinicians. Ergonomics is the science of designing jobs, equipment and workplaces to fit workers. Proper ergonomics design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long term disability. This article includes musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and the signs, symptoms and risk factors of these types of injuries, so that one can be aware of developing problems and can change his /her approach to work or alter the workstation setup to prevent further injury. The article discusses the applications of ergonomics in dental clinic set up and offers different exercises to work with comfort, efficiency and ease.

The Relationship

Introduction: Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSD) are considered a public health problem because of their high prevalence in various professions, including dental professionals. Because of poor posture and organization at work, for example, dental surgeons occupy the top spot on sick leave due to temporary or permanent disability, accounting for approximately 30% of the causes of premature abandonment between medical activities.Objectives: To identify the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and their relationship with dentist activity and to evaluate the relationship between symptomatology and laboratory test results.Methodology: A scan was performed, but Scopus, Web of Sciences and Google Scholar indexing databases were used to unite musculoskeletal disorders, dental surgeons, prevalence, laboratory tests. We found 15,000 articles, of which 56 were selected based on the best h index score or Qualis rating on the Sucupira platform.Conclusion: The relationship between musculoskeletal pain and dentist activity is strong and in some cases, these disorders can be detected on laboratory tests.

The Impact

Historically, the role of professionals specialized in occupational health and safety (OHS) has emerged from the need to protect employers working in major risk industries such as nuclear plants and large-scale chemical industries in Europe. More recently, a few studies highlighted that the range of activities linked to safety management responsibilities includes monitor and prepare reports, inspection and auditing, regulatory compliance, emergency response, incident investigation, hazard and risk assessment, and training. Additionally, there are some supplementary non-safety related duties, such as including environmental responsibility. Considering that work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMD) are a major burden worldwide, adding up to 1.3 billion cases, more than 100 million years loss of disability-adjusted life years and that such disorders are common causes of disability and sick leave, this topic is highly relevant to OHS professionals. In EU Member States for which data are available, a large majority of all workers report complaints related to musculoskeletal disorders as their most serious work-related health problems. The percentage of workers reporting such complaints as their most serious health problem ranges from 40 % in Luxembourg to 70 % in Czech Republic and Finland. Furthermore, more than half of workers with musculoskeletal disorders reported taking time off work in a 12-month period. In the EU, 26 % of workers with musculoskeletal long-lasting disorders, that is lasting over 3 months, combined with other health problems report more than 8 days of absence per year. Higher Education Institutions (HEI) have a key role in disseminating and increasing accessibility to the most up-to-date evidence available regarding the impact and management of musculoskeletal disorders, to facilitate translation of knowledge to implementation in practice. This way, the Knowledge Alliance Prevent4Work for Preventing Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders has elaborated this document with the most recent and relevant knowledge within the topic. HEI that offer courses within OHS as well as graduation and post-graduation courses for health professionals that work within the area, may benefit from the recommendations presented here.
