Comparación de la fuerza máxima de agarre entre una población laboral industrial y una población laboral administrativa de la ciudad de bogotá

Abstract

The study of the physical capacities of the Colombian population has been an issue that has gained interest in recent years, especially at the job level, due to the high rates of occupational disease related to DME in upper limbs. Currently there are no grip strength parameters of the Colombian population that favor the design of operations, tools and healthy environments; Nor has it been determined whether there is a difference or similarity between the strength of the hand between administrative workers and industry workers. Objective. Compare the maximum grip strength between an industrial labor population and an administrative labor population of the city of Bogotá. Methodology. Experimental, quantitative, correlational-cross-sectional study. Hand dynamometric measurements will be applied to a sample of men and women aged 18-62 years, who work in administrative areas and in industry. Expected results: Generate a benchmark of grip strength for particular work populations, an input for the design of manual tools and for the design of safe work environments. As well as academic production.
