RESUMO

Introdução:

As lesões musculoesqueléticas são uma das principais causas de problemas de saúde relacionados ao trabalho.

Objetivo:

Avaliar a capacidade laboral de segurados do INSS com DORT que retornaram ao trabalho.

Métodos:

Selecionaram-se 22 trabalhadores do setor produtivo de uma unidade fabril da cidade de Campina Grande (PB) que foram afastados de suas atividades trabalhistas com diagnóstico de DORT que voltaram a trabalhar. Para medir a capacidade laboral, utilizou-se o Índice de Capacidade para o Trabalho (ICT).

Resultados:

Verificou-se, por meio do ICT, que dos 22 trabalhadores pesquisados, 4 (18,18%) obtiveram uma pontuação correspondente à capacidade laboral ?baixa?; 15 (68,18%), ?moderada?, e 3 (13,64%), ?boa?.

Conclusão:

A maioria dos trabalhadores, portanto, retornou ao trabalho com uma moderada capacidade laboral, de acordo com o ICT, o que sugere que devem ser tomadas medidas para melhorar a qualidade da reabilitação profissional promovida pelo INSS aos acometidos de doenças laborais.
