[Cervical, thoracic and upper limb load assessment in dental professionals].
In order to analyze the effect of working posture on the level of neck, back and shoulder muscular activity, a clinico-anamnestic, electromyographic and postural study of 34 dentistry was undertaken. Using surface electrodes, the level of muscular activity was recorded. The results showed that neck flexed working posture is prevalent: using stereomicroscope gave lower levels than with or without enlarging systems, such as glasses.
