Estudo investigativo entre as condições de trabalho e a prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares em garçons

Abstract

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the work conditions and the prevalence of the bone and joint symptoms in twenty-eight waiters from three restaurants at Distrito Federal. A questionnaire was applied among the waiters. The results obtained showed that there was no correlation between the occupational activity and the prevalence of the work-related musculoskeletal disorders because the places didn’t seemed to be stressing to the waiters. More researches are necessary to prove the relation between the work place and the appearance of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in these workers.
