“…This finding is consistent with the literature that points to the lack of safety at work and unfavourable ergonomic conditions in this environment, and the NTEP analysis shows association with many groups of ICD-10, as well as indicates a serious risk (grade 3), regardless of the type of activity in civil construction 7 . The knowledge on this relationship shows possibilities of action of Physical Therapy, since studies show that workplace exercises and ergonomic analysis applied to work have an impact on the quality of health of workers 20 . In relation to retirees, it was not possible to access information about the former profession and the associations observed in this study indicated the effect of the aging process.…”

RESUMO A multicausalidade nas lesões relacionadas ao trabalho (LER) é pouco explorada na fisioterapia e sua compreensão baseada no Nexo Técnico Epidemiológico Previdenciário (NTEP) pode fornecer ao fisioterapeuta condição de atuar nos processos do trabalho. O objetivo foi analisar a associação entre diagnóstico clínico e situação ocupacional de usuários de serviço de fisioterapia. Em estudo descritivo transversal, com 656 usuários atendidos de janeiro de 2013 a julho de 2014, foram coletadas de prontuários informações sobre sexo, idade, cor da pele, diagnóstico clínico e situação ocupacional. Testes qui-quadrado e regressão logística foram utilizados para análise da associação entre diagnósticos e situações ocupacionais em população com idade média de 49,4 anos, maioria mulheres, cor branca e predominância de lesões não traumáticas. A regressão múltipla mostrou associação entre serviços domésticos e síndrome do túnel do carpo (odds ratio ou OR=2,54) e lesões no ombro (OR=1,82); entre trabalho na construção civil e algias na coluna (OR=5,78) e fraturas distais de membros inferiores (OR=3,53); e entre aposentados e gonartrose (OR=3,76), artrose na coluna (OR=2,24), acidente vascular encefálico (AVE) (OR=2,03), lesões no ombro (OR=0,27) e fraturas distais de membros inferiores (OR=0,15). O estudo mostrou risco para lesões de membros superiores em serviços domésticos; para lesões na coluna vertebral e fraturas distais de membro inferior na construção civil; e para artroses e AVE em aposentados. Estes apresentaram fator de proteção para lesões de ombro e fraturas de membros inferiores. A atuação fisioterapêutica pode ser ampliada com conhecimento do nexo causal. O fisioterapeuta pode atuar em seleção de indicadores epidemiológicos, formulação de orientações ergonômicas e elaboração de conduta terapêutica.

Introduction: Among workers' health programs, there are Workplace Physical Activity Intervention Programs that aim to improve life quality and reduce the witchcrafts of work. Objectives: To investigate and analyze the scientific production related to workplace physical activity intervention programs through a bibliometric analysis. Methods: We searched in studies about workplace physical activity intervention programs in the electronic database: Scientific Electronic Library Online, SciELO. We searched these databases from their inception through November 2017. The search terms used in the database were ("Workplace Physical Activity Intervention Programs" OR "Ginástica Laboral" OR "gimnástica laboral" OR "Workplace exercise"). The criteria for exclusion were: (1) review articles, (2) articles about places without the workplace physical activity intervention, and (3) published papers with only English, Spanish and Portuguese abstracts but without full texts in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Data analysis describle was conducted using "Statistic Package for the Social Sciences" (SPSS) for Windows version 21.0. Results: The nine articles that fit the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The year that had the greatest amount of publication on the theme was in 2014. In the analysis by language, most articles are published in two languages (33.3% in English and Portuguese) or Portuguese (33.3%). Most of the studies have interventions with 15 minutes of intervention and with stretching exercises. The outcomes are related to muscular pain, physical abilities and quality of life are highlighted. Conclusion: The studies with Workplace Physical Activity Intervention Programs use traditional methods with 15 minutes sessions and the most studied outcomes are pain and physical abilities.

“…Most participants in studies on WPA were engaged in administrative functions in either the public 15,[19][20][21]23,24,26,27,29,32,39,46,55 or the private sector 7,18,38,40,41,44,45,47,50,52,53 . The remainder of the samples included employees working in industrial production 6,18,34,36,41,42,48,52 , civil construction 17 , storage 18,36,50 , general services 27,32,33 , call centers 28,43 , as urban public transport drivers 51 , and also university students 52 . The latter was an experimental study, for this reason the participants were not workers as in the other studies.…”

Background:The increase in work-related health problems is a cause of concern for researchers worldwide. Intensification of work and the worker-work environment-illness relationship are some of the leading topics in debates on health and work. Facing this scenario, workplace physical activity (WPA) represents an option for prevention of work-related diseases. Aim: To describe and summarize how the Brazilian literature has addressed WPA. Methods: A scoping review was performed based on a search on the main databases of scientific articles available in Brazil using keywords "ginástica laboral" (workplace physical activity), "labor gymnastics", "ginástica do trabalho" (workplace physical activity), "exercícios laborais" (workplace physical exercise) e "cinesioterapia laboral (workplace kinesiotherapy)". Empirical studies conducted in Brazil and published along the past 10 years were included. Results: The 44 analyzed articles applied variable, mainly quantitative methods to the study of WPA. The studies were most frequently conducted by physical educators and physical therapists. WPA was performed in both private companies and public organizations with employees who performed a wide range of functions. Six categories were detected for WPA: pain management; lifestyle behaviors; mental health components; components of human movement; quality of life; and anthropometric indicators and vital signs. Conclusion: WPA has been investigated through many different methods and involving variable modalities of application. While still scarce, qualitative and multi-method studies could certainly increase the reach and potential of WPA. Keywords | review literature as topic; primary prevention; work; gymnastics. RESUMO | Introdução:O crescimento dos agravos relacionados ao trabalho vem preocupando pesquisadores ao redor do mundo. Isso porque a intensificação do trabalho e as relações trabalhador-ambiente de trabalho-adoecimento, entre outras, lideram o debate quando o assunto é saúde e trabalho. Nesse cenário, a ginástica laboral (GL) é uma alternativa na prevenção dos adoecimentos relacionados ao trabalho. Objetivo: Descrever e sintetizar as formas pelas quais a literatura brasileira tem abordado a GL. Métodos: Uma revisão panorâmica (scooping review) foi realizada a partir de buscas nas principais bases de artigos científicos disponíveis no país, por meio dos descritores "ginástica laboral", "labor gymnastics", "ginástica do trabalho", "exercícios laborais" e "cinesioterapia laboral". Foram incluídos estudos empíricos que tratavam do contexto brasileiro e que foram publicados nos últimos 10 anos. Resultados: Nos 44 artigos analisados foi evidenciado que diversas metodologias têm sido aplicadas à GL, majoritariamente as quantitativas. Os estudos têm sido conduzidos principalmente por educadores físicos e fisioterapeutas. A GL é executada tanto em empresas privadas quanto em órgãos públicos, com trabalhadores das mais variadas funções. Seis categorias associadas à GL emergiram: manejo da dor; estilo de vida; componentes relaciona...
