Estudo das Implica es na Postura Sentada Durante Análise Microscópica em um Laboratório de Universidade

Work obtains better results, at good environmental conditions. Learning too. Thiswork aimed to analyze the posture discomfort complaints from students of firstperiod of the Nursing course of Universidade Paranaense, in the 2001 year, sat onstools, watching microscopes. It was done two evaluations: about 80 students, usingthe adapted of Corlett & Manenica (1986) Human Body Diagram, verifying achepoints. Qualitatively, it was percept that there is more complains about backache.After it, the neck, the shoulders and the hip was object of complains. The otherevaluation analyzed the lumbar and cervical region curve angle of sixteen students:like results, we found 37,5% of the students with curves in their lumbar region up to20o; 56,25% with 21 to 30o and 6,25% presenting angles above 30o. In the cervicalregion, 18,5% presented flexibility up to 30o, and 81,25% an inclination (nod) above30o. In this study, through an ergonomic vision, was possible verify the troublescaused by the discord in the interface between the student and the furniture,justifying the overload on spin and the musculature caused by incompatible positionswith the muscle-skeleton system.
