- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To verify the effects of physical therapy intervention on musculoskeletal symptoms of workers using computer terminals. METHODS: This is a quasiexperimental study, carried out with 48 workers who use computer terminals at a Cosmetics Industry located in the center-west region of Brazil. At first, the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) were applied. After the physical therapy intervention, the NMQ was reapplied. RESULTS: Comparison of the MNQ showed a reduction in symptoms in the last 12 months in the neck (2.38 to 1.98); shoulders (1.04 to 0.19); elbows (0.21 to 0.15); cuffs (1.42 to 0.17); lumbar region (2.17 to 1.96) and thoracic (0.96 to 0.48); hips/thighs (0.88 to 0.48); knee (1.17 to 0.83); ankle/feet (1.52 to 0.60) and, in the last 7 days, in the neck (0.83 to 0.54); shoulder (0.50 to 0.29); right elbow (0.06 to 0.04); wrists/hands (0.52 to 0); lumbar region (1.08 to 0.58) and thoracic (0.29 to 0); hips/thighs (0.38 to 0.33); knee (0.58 to 0.27), ankle/feet (1.02 to 0.25). There was a decrease in the prevalence of symptoms in the last 12 months (from 93.8% to 75%) with p=0.02. The comparison of NMQ activity showed p=0.03 in shoulders. CONCLUSION: The physical therapy intervention significantly reduced the complaints of musculoskeletal symptoms in different body regions.
