Factores de riesgo biomecánico presentes en educadores que realizan trabajo en casa durante el aislamiento preventivo.

Abstract

Introduction: Work at home is a work modality that has been implemented in recent months due to the health emergency declared a pandemic by COVID-19 and is directly related to the appearance of musculoskeletal disorders, due to the poor adaptation of the position of work andlong working hours. Objective: To determine the biomechanical risk factors present in educators who perform work at home during preventive isolation. Methodology: It is a compilation monograph, based on the bibliographic search of different articles on biomechanical risk factors in educators during work at home and musculoskeletal disorders related to said risks. Conclusions: The information collected allows us to establish that the most frequent biomechanical risk factor in educators is repetitive movements and prolonged and / or maintained postures. The most frequent musculoskeletal disorders associated with working at home in teachers are carpal tunnel syndrome, hand and wrist tendonitis, lateral epicondylitis and low back pain. Likewise, it was determined that the main regions affected by biomechanical risk factors and the appearance of TME in the upper limb are the neck, shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist; the lower trunk is the lumbar spine. Finally, it is established that the main risk factors are biomechanical, being necessary the design of the job and activities focused on promotion and prevention.
