Levantamento da prevalência de lombalgias em profissionais que utilizam motocicleta como instrumento de trabalho

Abstract

The subject under analysis is about a survey of the prevalence of low back pain in professionals using motorcycle. Thus, a bibliographic survey was carried out in databases on the subject. Through this research, it was verified that the most identified professional risk factors involve the incorrect movements and postures due to the inadequacies of the working environment, the working conditions of the available equipment, as well as the organization and execution of the work. In these aspects we can emphasize that the professions that use the motorcycle as a means of transportation have unfavorable conditions of work, since several factors such as exposures to risks, whether accident, death, illness or assault generate physical and psychological wear and tear. In this sense, we conclude that, we must emphasize that occupational low back pain should not be analyzed only as a medical issue, but also as a socioeconomic issue.
