Resumen
Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders represent one of the major complications in the work
environment. In order to follow up and make a more detailed analysis of the existing cases, a
statistical study was carried out through a sampling of 170 students. Objective: To determine the
prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in students of the School of Dentistry of the Universidad
Santo Tomás Bucaramanga who receive ICT-mediated remote classes, during mandatory social
isolation due to COVID-19.
Methods: An instrument was created based on the information from the Nordic Kourinka
questionnaire. Likewise, this will be composed of two sections where one of them corresponds to
the sociodemographic variables of the participant and a section of the individual's habits, for a total
of 19 questions with response options that allowed establishing the appearance and development
of MSD in dental students of the Universidad Santo Tomas. Results: a series of questions were
developed, in order to identify the factors that can increase the risks of MSD, in this way it was
possible to evidence a correlation between the lack of stretching activities and the appearance of
MSD, showing that 35.88% never perform stretching activities, while only 4.12% referred to
always performing them. Recommendations: After performing the statistical analysis, we sought
to establish a series of recommendations based on the manual for the prevention of musculoskeletal
disorders issued by the general secretariat of Madrid Spain and on the ergonomics studies proposed
by Williams where he establishes a series of exercises centered on trunk movements and flexion.
