• ABSTRACT


    In order to determine the relationship between postural loading and danger of skeletal-muscle disorder in administrative workers of a public financial institution in Maracaibo, descriptive cross-sectional study was realized in 60 workers with an average age of 32.00 and standard deviation ± 06.14 years old 4.65 ± 2.26 years' work, located in the different jobs of the operating areas of that institution. To assess the danger of working postures the REBA (Rapid Assessment Full Body), prior determination thereof, by direct observation and to collect the symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders method Nordic Questionnaire was used standardized applied. The analysis results REBA scores regarding age range revealed that most studied personnel presents very high and high risk values​skeletal muscle disorders with positive correlation between variables. Correlation REBA score by body segments at risk of TME showed significant relationship between the adoption of awkward postures and prolonged maintenance of the same level of upper limbs. In conclusion, it was shown that those workers, regardless of sex, present a very high danger of skeletal-muscle disorders by the highly repetitive nature of work activity at the level of senior members. Based on the findings of this research, it is suggested to implement occupational epidemiological surveillance with an emphasis on the musculoskeletal system and perform design review jobs.

    Key words: Danger, musculoskeletal disorder, administrative workers.
