Trastornos musculoesqueléticos y prácticas ergonómicas en universitarios peruanos durante la pandemia de la COVID-19

PDFResumen
Introducción: El aislamiento social impuesto por la pandemia de la COVID-19 ha obligado a adaptarse a la educación a distancia.
Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de trastornos musculoesqueléticos y su asociación con las prácticas ergonómicas durante el uso de la computadora en estudiantes de una universidad peruana.
Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal en octubre de 2020. La muestra se compuso por 738 estudiantes, a quienes se les aplicaron el cuestionario nórdico estandarizado, para detectar síntomas de trastornos musculoesqueléticos, y otro desarrollado por los autores, para evaluar las prácticas ergonómicas.
Resultados: La prevalencia de trastornos musculoesqueléticos fue de 97,4 %. Las regiones más afectadas resultaron el cuello (85,5 %), la región lumbar (73 %) y la dorsal (70,2 %). Los estudiantes con antecedentes de algún traumatismo (PRa: 1,03; IC 95 %: 1,01-1,04) que, durante el uso de la computadora, adoptaron las posturas decúbito prono (RPa: 1,02; IC 95 %: 1,01-1,04) y sentados con la cabeza inclinada (RPa: 1,03; IC 95 %: 1,00-1,07) tuvieron mayor prevalencia de un trastorno musculoesquelético.
Conclusiones: Existe una alta prevalencia de trastornos musculoesqueléticos en los universitarios. Sobresalen el sexo femenino y quienes adoptan malas posturas durante el uso de la computadora; por tanto, se deben brindar medidas ergonómicas preventivas y de intervención en esta población.
