Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to verify if the bad adopted postures in the work atmosphere, during the accomplishment of professional actívities can favor the appearance of posture deviations. The s ample wasmade up of 19 employees of the cleaning department from UNISINOS. The methodology used in this research was constituted by the accomplishment of posture goniometrícal evaluarions in order to verify the posture alterations and the amplitude of articular movements, respectively. The obtained results showed that 100% of the individuals presented at least a type of posture deviation. These results suggest that professional acdvities when practised n inadequate postures favor the installaüon of posture deviadons. The posture and goniometrícal evaluations, when correlated presented signifícant dirferences (p£0,05)in comparison with the averages of ADM among the individuais with corporal segments inside and out the norma lposture alignment.
