Abstract

Objective: The working positions of the students were evaluated during the practices performed in the Dental Care Unit and on the basis of which musculoskeletal problems are presented at the vertebral column level. Method: Descriptive observational. Results: 83% of the students had the greatest discomfort in the neck, followed by 71% in the wrists, 68% in the upper back, 59% in the lower back and 51% in the shoulders, due to the postures that this type of profession forces them to maintain. Conclusion: The most affected part of the body due to the postures presented by the 10th semester students who perform their pre-professional practices at the UAO of UNIANDES, is the neck, forearm and trunk, this is due to the activities and the way in which they perform them during their professional life, 41% require immediate action and 46% require prompt action.
