Brief Summary:
ABSTRACT
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are seen as a public health problem, and can often lead to temporary or permanent incapacity to work. Exercises can be indicated to prevent musculoskeletal disorders, allied to ergonomic intervention as a preventive approach. Objectives: The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of workplace muscle strengthening kinesiotherapy in the reduction of pain and discomfort in the upper limbs and cervical region perceived by the workers of a university hospital. Methods: After a priori sample size calculation based on pain numeric scale, 166 volunterrs will be recruted and assigned randomly to the "labor kinesiotherapy" group (GCL) or to the "control group" (CG), considering 10% sample size lost and intention to treat. The primary outcomes will be the pain perceived by the Numerical Pain Scale (NDT) and Nordic Questionnaire, and isokinetic muscle strength through the mean peak torque work of shoulder abduction. The discomfort and disability will be evaluated by the PSFS and QuickDASH questionnaires. The Ergonomic Analysis of Work will be evaluated by the manual "Ergonomic Analysis Focused on Activities" - EAFA and application of QEC, RULA, REBA and HARM tools. Statistical analysis will be performed through PASW Statistics ™, version 20.0. The independent sample T test will be used to compare the groups. The Cohen index will be set for the effect size calculation. All analyzes will be conducted with 95% confidence interval and p \<0.05 significance.
