Abstract
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders affect various work activities, in which the military class has been greatly affected in developed and developing countries such as Brazil. To this end, the aim of this study is to describe the musculoskeletal complaints of ostensive policing in the military. A narrative review was performed, searching the articles indexed in the MEDLINE databases via PUBMED and LILACS, from February to June 2019, with articles published from 2015 to 2019, using the descriptors “Osteomuscular”, “ Ergonomics”,“ Outstanding Policing ”and“ Military ”and their English correspondents using the Boolean operator AND. Review articles, articles with surgical approach and experimental articles with animals were excluded. We found 367 articles, of which 5 met the eligibility criteria. Among the findings, we highlight some musculoskeletal symptoms in the lower back, neck and knees, with the highest prevalence of pain and paresthesias.
