Abstract

Objective: to carry out the biomechanical design of the nursing assistant position in order to attenuate osteomyoarticular disorders. Method: Descriptive observational. Results and conclusions: With the use of an adjustable patient bed and by reducing by 18.57% the weight of the maximum load for women in the nursing assistant position and with angles of: 130° for knee, 94° hip, 50° for L5/S1, 40° for shoulder, 130° for elbow, 90°wrist, the maximum loads of: elbow, shoulder, knee and ankle were reduced to the recommended limits, leaving: lumbar 122% and hip with 151% over the recommended limit.
