Biomecánica versus rol del trabajador de los coteros de las plazas de mercado de la ciudad de Pamplona, Norte de Santander.

Abstract

This research is based on the study of biomechanics (human body movement) of cotero during cargo handling, as there is evidence of musculoskeletal conditions product development of their occupation, which can interfere with the performance of the job role. On this basis of occupational therapy the study objective was plotted to determine the relationship of biomechanics with the role of the worker coteros of the market places of Pamplona. a descriptive and correlational research was conducted handling the instruments: sociodemographic profile, WEIS and REBA. 51 subjects obtaining as results were evaluated: 100% belongs to the male gender, 59% have ages between 40 to 60 years, 51% married, 72% with primary education, 96% in stratum 1, 70% higher than 15 years old, 98% and 96% has SISBEN affiliated health. More than 60% perceived interference with the performance of the role of worker as to the demands of the task, bonuses, architecture and environmental qualities. inadequate as neck flexion> 20 °, trunk flexion> 60 ° with rotating movements, bending arms> 46 °, calling this activity by 82% of high risk positions biomechanical found. Biomechanics finding regarding the role of worker.
