Abstract
Los Desórdenes Musculo esqueléticos (DME) comprenden una serie de afecciones que afectan los músculos, huesos, articulaciones, tendones y ligamentos del cuerpo humano. Estos trastornos se caracterizan por dolor, debilidad o rigidez en las zonas afectadas, lo cual puede limitar la capacidad de realizar actividades diarias. Los DME son una de las principales causas de discapacidad a nivel mundial, con un notable impacto tanto en la calidad de vida de los individuos como en la productividad laboral.
El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar la presencia de síntomas
osteomusculares y evaluar el nivel de riesgo biomecánico en las operarias de una despulpadora de frutas en Villavicencio, Meta. El estudio, de diseño descriptivo y corte transversal, incluyó a 10 trabajadoras del área de despulpado. Para ello, se aplicó el Cuestionario Nórdico de Kuorinka, con el fin de analizar el perfil sociodemográfico y determinar la prevalencia, intensidad y frecuencia de los síntomas relacionados con DME. Además, se evaluó el riesgo biomecánico utilizando el método (RULA).
Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) encompass a range of conditions affecting the muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments, characterized by pain, weakness, or stiffness that can limit daily activities. MSDs are a leading cause of disability globally, significantly impacting quality of life and work productivity. This descriptive, cross-sectional study aimed to identify the presence of musculoskeletal symptoms and assess the level of biomechanical risk in female fruit pulping workers in Villavicencio, Meta. Ten female workers in the pulping area participated and were assessed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire to analyze sociodemographic profiles and determine the prevalence, intensity, and frequency of MSD-related symptoms. Biomechanical risk was evaluated using the (RULA) method. Results indicated that all workers were female, aged 21 to 41. The most affected body areas were the neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, hips, and knees, each with an 80% prevalence of symptoms. Furthermore, the biomechanical risk level was classified as high. In conclusion, the findings highlight the urgent need for ergonomic interventions in the workplaces and the establishment of epidemiological surveillance programs to prevent potential injuries and work-related MSDs. Keywords: Musculoskeletal disorders, Nordic Questionnaire, RULA, Prevalence.
