Introduction: musculoskeletal disorders in the metallurgical work context have a negative impact from the personal, economic and social perspective of workers.
Objective: to identify the manifestations of musculoskeletal disorders in metallurgical manual molders in the foundry area of the Holmeca company in the province of Holguín, Cuba, in the period from January to March 2021.
Method: an observational, non-experimental study was carried out. cross-sectional study in 19 metallurgical manual shapers, which included sociodemographic variables, location of painful areas, pain intensity, time of onset and duration of the disorder. Theoretical and empirical methods were used. The standardized Kuorinka Nordic Questionnaire and the Visual Analog Scale were used. The information processing was carried out using descriptive statistics.
Results: the painful areas and the highest prevalence of musculoskeletal pain were identified in: wrist/hand (94.74%), shoulder (89.47%), dorsal/lumbar (89.47%) and elbow/forearm (84.21%). The intensity of the pain was determined as intense in 36.84% and moderate in 42.11% of the workers; while in 21.05% it was mild. The duration of the disorders was 3-38 years, which appeared after 5 to 7 years after beginning work in the study area.
Conclusions: the prevalence of manifestations of musculoskeletal disorders in metallurgical manual molders in the foundry area of the Holmeca company in Holguín is high. They are identified in the hand/wrist, shoulder, lumbar and elbow/forearm, as the anatomical areas most affected in this population group.
