Manual for the care of work posture and its influence on musculoskeletal pain in dental surgeons, Huaraz 2022
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-11-05) Meza Manrique, Miguel Angel; Maldonado Perez, Jessica Yvonne
The aim of this research was to determine the variation in work posture and its influence on osteomuscular pain after applying a manual of postural care in dental surgeons, Huaraz 2022. The hypothetical-deductive method was used as the study relied on observation and surveys. Observation was employed to recognize "work posture," and the survey was used to identify "osteomuscular pain" in a sample of 129 dental surgeons. The study had a quantitative approach, applied type, with a quasi-experimental design, educational intervention, observational, and longitudinal. The statistical test used was mean difference to analyze the variation between pre-test and post-test using the SPSS version 26.0 software. The results showed the variation in work posture after applying the manual, with a positive change in relation to inadequate postures. Among the causes of osteomuscular discomfort identified by the dental surgeons, work posture (40%) and work hours (39%) were the most significant. The osteomuscular areas with the greatest variation in discomfort were the neck and wrist. It was concluded that work posture and its influence on osteomuscular pain were improved in dental surgeons through the application of the manual.

Skin muscle pain associated with labour position in students of the dental clinic at Norbert Wiener University, Lima - 2018
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-03-28) Beraun Arias, Roger Marco; Farías Vera, Javier
The objective of this research was to determine whether there is a relationship between musculoskeletal pain and work posture in students from the dental clinic at Universidad Norbert Wiener, Lima 2018. It was a correlational, inductive, and cross-sectional study, with 81 students participating. The "Nordic Kuorinka" instrument was used to identify musculoskeletal pain symptoms, and the B.H.O.P (Balance Human Operating Position) was used to assess work posture. Data processing was done using the SPSS statistical software, version 24.0, and the Chi-square test of Pearson was applied for statistical analysis. The results showed that 85% of the students experienced musculoskeletal pain, while 15% did not. In terms of anatomical regions, the neck and back were where the most symptoms were reported. Regarding work posture, 90% of the students exhibited improper posture. According to postural verification (minimal cervical flexion, distance from the head to the working field of 30–35 cm, and the operator sitting with a straight back), these were the most common postural issues. The study concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between musculoskeletal pain and work posture in the neck and back areas among students.
