Abstract(s)
A presença de lesões músculo-esqueléticas recorrentes em soldadores poderá influenciar a qualidade de vida relacionada com saúde. No entanto, são escassos os estudos que abordam este tema e os seus resultados são pouco conclusivos. Neste primeiro estudo investiga-se se há lesões músculo esqueléticas com maior incidência em soldadores comparando com não soldadores (Hipótese 1); e se estas lesões levam a um aumento de dor e a uma diminuição da mobilidade dos soldadores, o que diminui a sua qualidade de vida associada ao estado de saúde (Hipótese 2). Visto que os soldadores se encontram entre os trabalhadores de risco para desenvolver este distúrbio, o segundo estudo avalia a capacidade funcional de dois casos na Empresa Cimenteira, em que é explorada a possibilidade do uso de ortótese postural como medida profilática, e criado dois modelos de protótipos físicos que atenda as necessidades desta população.
The presence of recurrent musculoskeletal injuries in welders may influence health-related quality of life. However, there are few studies addressing this issue and their results are inconclusive. This first study investigates whether there are musculoskeletal injuries with a higher incidence in welders compared to non-welders (Hypothesis 1); and whether these injuries lead to increased pain and decreased mobility in welders, which decreases their health-related quality of life (Hypothesis 2). Since welders are among the workers at risk for developing this disorder, the second study evaluates the functional capacity of two cases in the cement industry, exploring the possibility of using postural orthotics as a prophylactic measure, and creating two physical prototype models that meet the needs of this population.
