The aim of this paper is to characterize complaints in the upper limbs,
shoulders, neck and back- lumbar region directly related to musculo-skeletal
disorders in a sampling of 114 cleaners from seven cleaning (janitor) companies,
operating at eight client organizations. Complaints had been diagnosed as
stiffness, any pain, numbness, paraesthesiae, tingling, cold feeling and
blanching of at least one finger tip, according to a temporal criteria of
symptoms were present now or have been present on at least 4 days during the
last 7 days, or symptoms have been present on at least 4 days during at least
one week in the last 12 months. It was analyzed the severity of the complaints
(interference with current activities) and the simultaneous occurrence of
multiple symptoms. The causes of medical consultation in the last year were
analyzed (osteo-articular pathology of the vertebral spine, of the upper and
lower limbs, depressive syndromes and other complaints of the lower limbs among
others). In the end, the relation between persistent complaints and musculo-
skeletal pathology related to work activities was analyzed, considering
particularly the age of the workers and the existence of osteo-articular
pathology.
