Conditions related to the musculoskeletal system have become increasingly common, worldwide, during the last decades and are among the most important causes of morbidity and disability in adults. In view of this scenario, one can consider the stevedores which are workers responsible for moving the merchandise, working in warehouses, sheds. Due to the great effort and considering the excessive weights, these workers are exposed to health problems such as skin diseases, muscular and osteoarticular diseases and even disorders due to the repetitive effort. To carry out a bibliographical survey about the musculoskeletal alterations that are associated and derived from the working process of the stevedores' class. The study is a review of the literature, in which scientific articles published in Scielo, Bireme, Virtual Health Library, and LILACS were used, in all indexes surveyed. It was searched for articles that covered the loose workers, the working conditions and still diseases related to their work process. In view of the above, it was possible to understand that the class of single workers or stevedores still presents characteristics of manual/arm labor and that this entails several complications with respect to the health of this worker mainly in the physical aspect, being osteomioarticular diseases the major causes of diseases related to work.

The objective of this article is to review the literature about the benefits of physical therapy performance in the health of the worker. Included were 11 studies for the development of the work, which depict the physical therapy performance in employee health, in addition to research on sites from sources such as the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Fundação Jorge Duprat Figueiredo of Work Safety and Medicine (Fundacentro), Ministry of Social Welfare and the Civil House of the Presidency of the Republic for information about statistical data and laws. It is well known that disturbances osteomioarticulares lead to workers absence from their work roles and, consequently, wasteful spending, with the aid and the loss of manpower to the organs jobs. Concludes that after a physiotherapy intervention, there is a considerable reduction of disabilities, acting positively in the prevention of occupational diseases.

Effect of respiratory muscle training in post-stroke patients: a literature review ABSTRACT Stroke can be conceptualized as the interruption of cerebral blood supply, due to extravasation or obstruction of the blood vessel. It is one of the most common chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), being the third cause of death in several countries of the world and the main cause of permanent incapacitation because it is the vascular condition that most affects the Central Nervous System (CNS). About 40% of stroke patients have a reduction in diaphragm displacement and a decrease in lung function to 50% of the expected values for age. Respiratory muscle training is an approach that has the potential to increase muscle strength and reduce respiratory complications following stroke In this way, this study aims to perform a literature review on respiratory changes and the effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) in post-stroke patients. This is a review of the literature, in which scientific articles published in Scielo, Bireme, and LILACS were used in all indexes, using as keywords: Inspiratory Muscular Training, Brain Vascular Accident and respiratory changes. After the analysis, articles were selected that related the three aspects and presented IMT results in post-stroke patients. Studies have revealed the therapeutic effects of IMT in the various populations, presenting as an approach to the increase in inspiratory muscle strength and endurance, increase in thoracic expandability, adequacy in the respiratory pattern, reduction in the perception of dyspnea, delay in the decline increased exercise tolerance and aerobic capacity, as well as improved quality of life in post-stroke individuals.
