Abstract(s)
World Health Organization (WHO) defined work-related musculoskeletal injuries as multifactorial diseases. These injuries are the main concern of public health and individual health, and are becoming increasingly frequent, in both developed and developing countries. Workers during working hours are often exposed to repetitive movements, the lifting and carrying heavy loads, verifying an increase in demand in terms of muscle strength in the upper limbs. The palmar grip strength provides an objective index of the functional integrity for the evaluation of upper limbs. Verify that the palmar grip strength is associated with self-reported symptoms in the arm in industry worker’s electrical components.
