Propuesta de un programa de pausas activas para la prevención de trastornos musculoesqueléticos en trabajadores de cargue y descargue

Resumen

Musculoskeletal disorders are a leading cause of work-related morbidity worldwide and significantly affect workers in plastics companies (such as cargo handlers) due to the nature of their tasks—which involve loading and unloading goods, sustained postures, repetitive movements, and poor postural habits. These issues manifest as conditions such as neck, upper back, or lower back pain, as well as reduced functional capacity and short-, medium-, and long-term absenteeism.1
