New Challenges Regarding the Intervention of Musculoskeletal Risk in Truck Service Garages

Background: The automotive industry is heavily affected by sick leaves caused the handling of loads and using postures that produce musculoskeletal disorders. Research needed to analyse their causes find possible solutions eliminate or mitigate these risks. Objective: Our objective was level risk in different work tasks performed truck bus mechanics. intention also whether postural training feedback can help reduce risk. Methods: rapid entire body assessment (REBA) used assess 35 mechanics from eight branches throughout Spain. participants were subsequently divided randomly into two groups (experimental group control group). experimental (EG) given on (CG) not offered any type intervention. A few months after initial assessment, load usual re-evaluated. Results: An overall average REBA Score: 10.49 ± 1.33. main found trunk arms with sustained above-the-head postures. EG’s second results are significantly improved compared first (p = 0.026 *). Conclusions: These jobs have a high-risk course action presented has shown satisfactory results. Nevertheless, size sample, further research will be delve deeper this possibility as future line
