Assessment of the ergonomic risk of dental students using the Owas method
Dentists for their work can adopt abnormal postures, generating a risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders, if ignored, cumulative physiological damage can cause an injury that affects professional exercise. Objective: The study evaluated the ergonomic risk of developing musculoskeletal disorder...

| description | Dentists for their work can adopt abnormal postures, generating a risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders, if ignored, cumulative physiological damage can cause an injury that affects professional exercise. Objective: The study evaluated the ergonomic risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders in dental students using the Ovako Work Analysis System (OWAS). Material and Methods: Observational study in students enrolled (n = 90) in the last semester of undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Central University. To determine the risk of developing musculoskeletal problems, video images and photographs of students were used while performing various clinical procedures that were evaluated using the OWAS method. Observations were made over a period of 20 to 40 minutes with an interval of 30 to 60 seconds of rest. A risk score was attributed after each procedure performed by the student. The prevalence of risk of musculoskeletal disorders was estimated by position. Results: The greatest risk occurred in the back, 68% of the students assumed a position that in the long or short term would need consideration due to the risk of developing musculoskeletal injuries. 60% presented an unfavorable position for the arms. Regarding the load on the feet, more than 80% worked sitting, so the risk was lower in this position; strength was not observed as a risk factor. Conclusions: A higher prevalence of medium risk (2 and 3) of developing musculoskeletal disorders mainly in the back was observed in students of the last semester of the Dentistry degree. |

Objetivo: El estudio evaluó el riesgo ergonómico de desarrollar trastornos musculoesqueléticos en estudiantes de odontología utilizando el Sistema de Análisis de Trabajo Ovako (OWAS por sus siglas en inglés). Material y Métodos: Estudio observacional en estudiantes matriculados (n=90) en el último semestre de pregrado de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Central. Para determinar el riesgo de desarrollar problemas musculoesqueléticos se usaron imágenes de videos y fotografías de estudiantes mientras realizaban diversos procedimientos clínicos que se evaluaron usando el método OWAS. Las observaciones se realizaron en un periodo de 20 a 40 minutos con un intervalo de 30 a 60 segundos de descanso. Se atribuyó una puntuación de riesgo después de cada procedimiento realizado por el estudiante. La prevalencia del riesgo de trastornos musculoesqueléticos se estimó por posición. Resultados: El mayor riesgo se presentó en la espalda, el 68% de los alumnos asumió alguna posición que a largo o corto plazo necesitaría consideración por el riesgo de desarrollo de lesiones musculoesqueléticas. El 60% presentó una posición desfavorable para los brazos. Respecto a la carga sobre los pies, más del 80% trabajó sentado, por lo que el riesgo fue menor en esta posición; la fuerza no fue observada como factor de riesgo. Conclusiones: Se observó una mayor prevalencia de riesgo medio (2 y 3) de desarrollar trastornos musculoesqueléticos principalmente en la espalda en estudiantes de último semestre de la carrera de Odontología.Universidad Central del Ecuador2020-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmltext/htmlhttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/odontologia/article/view/238610.29166/odontologia.vol22.n2.2020-60-71Odontología; Vol. 22 Núm. 2 (2020): Julio - Diciembre; 60-711390-996710.29166/odontologia.vol22.n2.2020reponame:Revista Odontologíainstname:Universidad Central del Ecuadorinstacron:UCEspahttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/odontologia/article/view/2386/2365https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/odontologia/article/view/2386/2440https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/odontologia/article/view/2386/2441Derechos de autor 2020 Adrián Andree Terán Granja, Alexie Elizabeth Izquierdo Buchellihttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-08-20T00:58:12Zoai:revistadigital.uce.edu.ec:article/2386Portal de revistashttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://uce.edu.ec/**Ecuador*1390-99671390-7468opendoar:02021-08-20T00:58:12Revista Odontología - Universidad Central del Ecuadorfalse |
