Introdução: Os trabalhadores administrativos apresentam especificidades no seu
comportamento ao longo do dia passíveis de se traduzirem em consequências patológicas,
como o facto de passarem demasiado tempo sentados na mesma posição, recrutarem
apenas pequenos músculos específicos da mão, punho e braço para o desempenho
constante de uma atividade e, adquirirem uma postura inadequada. Estes padrões
inapropriados geralmente desencadeiam desconforto e dor, levando ao surgimento das
lesões músculo-esqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho. Estudos demonstram a eficácia
do exercício terapêutico na dor músculo-esquelética em trabalhadores, assim como,
modificações ergonómicas no local de trabalho que possam melhorar a postura do
indivíduo. Objetivo: Avaliar a eficácia de um programa de exercícios aplicados em
trabalhadores administrativos que apresentem dor músculo-esquelética. Metodologia:
Pesquisa computorizada nas bases de dados PubMed e PEDro para identificar estudos
randomizados controlados que avaliaram o efeito do exercício em trabalhadores
administrativos. Resultados: Nesta revisão foram incluídos 7 artigos, posteriormente
avaliados qualitativamente segundo a Escala de PEDro. Conclusão: O estudo demonstra
a eficácia de programas de exercícios no trabalho aplicados a trabalhadores
administrativos na redução da dor músculo-esquelética relacionada com o trabalho em
diversas regiões corporais, nomeadamente cervical, ombros e membros superiores. A
fisioterapia desempenha um papel importante no contexto laboral, podendo atuar de
forma preventiva através da ergonomia e do incentivo para a realização de exercício,
assim como, na atuação após lesão e na melhora da qualidade de vida dos funcionários
no trabalho e na sociedade.
Introduction: Administrative workers present some specificities in their daily work behavior which can cause some pathological consequences such as being sitting for too long in the same position, exercise only some small specific muscles of the hand, wrist, and arm in their job activity, or just by having a bad posture. These inappropriate patterns can generally cause discomfort and pain which can later evolve to some musculoskeletal injuries. Previous studies show the efficiency of therapeutic exercise for administrative workers, as well as some ergonomic changes in the workspace environment that can improve the worker’s posture. Objective: Evaluate the efficiency of a group of exercises applied to administrative workers with musculoskeletal pain. Methodology: Computerized research on PubMed and PEDro databases to identify random studies that evaluate the effect of exercise in administrative workers. Results: This revision includes 7 articles, further evaluated qualitatively according to PEDro’s scale. Conclusion: This study shows the efficiency of exercise programs on work-related musculoskeletal pain reduction in administrative workers in several body regions, such as neck and shoulders. Physiotherapy plays an important role in a work context, being able to act preventively through ergonomic and exercise instructions, as well as post injuries treatments, which can certainly improve the life quality of workers.
