DIMATE, Aanh Eduardo; RODRIGUEZ, Diana Carolina y ROCHA, Anderson Ivan. Perception of musculoskeletal disorders and RULA method application in different productive sectors: a systematic review of literatura. Rev. Univ. Ind. Santander. Salud [online]. 2017, vol.49, n.1, pp.57-74. ISSN 0121-0807. https://doi.org/10.18273/revsal.v49n1-2017006.
Introduction:
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are one of the main causes of work-related diseases; numerous efforts have been made in order to prevent its occurrence. Therefore, multiple ergonomic evaluation instruments have been used. This review aims to identify the available information in databases related to biomechanical risk assessment (RULA) and perception of DME in workers from various economic sectors, period 2004-2015 (Nordic Questionnaire).
Materials and Methods:
A Systematic review about the recent studies focused on the evaluation of the level of ergonomic risk and perception of DME was performed. The recommendations of the PRISMA statement were taken into account after obtaining the studies from the Science Direct, Scopus, Pubmed, Springer link, Embase and Ebsco databases. 13 studies that complied the selection criteria were included; 2 types of studies were identified: diagnosis and intervention.
Results:
High prevalence in upper and lower back, neck, trunk, shoulders, hand/wrist, and knee were evidenced, being the female gender the most affected.
Conclusions:
These findings suggest an association between body mass index, age (≥ 25 years), seniority at work (≥ 3 years), piecework, daily hours of work ≥ 8 hours, number of patients attended, RULA (level 3 And 4) and DME in the neck, trunk, arms, forearms, lower back and group B body areas.
