Herramienta para la detección temprana y seguimiento oportuno de las lumbalgias asociadas a cambios degenerativos de la columna lumbosacra

Resumen en español

This project aims to find a standardized strategy through the development and implementation of a simple interface computer tool that can be permanently applied in the evaluation, management and more appropriate monitoring of conditions and factors related to the condition. Physics and biomechanics of the lumbosacral spine, represented by degenerative changes of the vertebral bodies, the intervertebral discs and the stabilization elements. The early identification of the structural changes of the elements that are part of the lumbosacral spine aims, in addition to knowing the physical condition of the worker; establishing a more personalized control system better adjusted to the particular needs of each worker evaluated and classified under this condition. These personalized interventions seek in turn to reduce the possible complications associated with structural changes in the lumbosacral spine already present and that have the risk of having greater physiological manifestations derived from the execution of work activities such as: manipulation of loads, repetitive movements affecting the lumbosacral spine and the components of the lumbar region, and inappropriate and constant postures in a given work environment.
