RESUMO
O problema das LER/DORT tem ocupado grande parte dos estudos relacionados à saúde dos trabalhadores. Suas causas e conseqüências são relativamente conhecidas apesar de ainda haverem controvérsias quanto ao seu diagnóstico e tratamento. A ergonomia tem sido uma das técnicas efetivas na prevenção das LER/DORT por abordar diretamente as condições de trabalho, causas do problema. No entanto, um outro método tem crescido no Brasil na tentativa de prevenir as LER/DORT os programas de ginástica laboral. Neste trabalho descrevem-se as principais características dos programas de ginástica laboral e discute-se a sua eficácia na prevenção das LER/DORT, bem como outros fatores associados com a implantação desses programas. Conclui-se que, ao contrário do propalado pelas empresas que oferecem serviços de ginástica laboral, ela não é um método ergonômico de prevenção, pois os objetivos e meios são diferenciados. Por outro lado, a ginástica laboral, até o momento, não fez jus à suposição de sua eficácia na prevenção das LER/DORT. Além disso, os programas estão mais a serviço das empresas do que da saúde do trabalhador.
ABSTRACT
RSI is a generalized problem and it has been the aim of various studies in the occupational health area. RSI's causes and consequences are relatively known, although the existence of some controversies relating to its diagnoses and prevention. The use of ergonomics techniques have proven effective in RSI management and prevention due mainly to its direct approach to working conditions, known to be linked to its cause. However, another method is increasing in Brazil in an attempt to prevent RSI exercises in the workplace. This article describes the main characteristics of the workplace exercises programs and discusses its success in the prevention of RSI, as well as other factors related to its implementation in the workplace. The conclusion is that, contrary to the idea disseminated by companies that offer workplace exercises programs; these programs can not be considered ergonomics RSI prevention methods, as the objectives and techniques of the two kinds of interventions are completely different. On the other hand, workplace exercises programs, until the moment, did not provide evidence for the supposition of its effectiveness in RSI's prevention. Besides that, it seems that the programs are more at the enterprises service than to the workers.
