Exercise system based on mechanotherapy to prevent conditions of the osteomyoarticular system in stomatologists

Abstract

Introduction: the prevention of conditions of the osteomyoarticular system in stomatologists is a topic that requires an analysis from rehabilitation, especially with mechanotherapy. Objective: to propose a system of exercises based on mechanotherapy to prevent conditions of the osteomyoarticular system in stomatologists. Method: a study was carried out that constituted development research in Santiago de Cuba during the period from September to December 2023. An exercise system based on mechanotherapy was developed that consisted of three stages, for the Deslizador Vago® device, with the use of the systemic-structural method (for the establishment of structural and functional relationships between the components of the exercise system). Results: the exercise system was aimed at the rehabilitation of eight areas according to location. It had three common actions for all of them, aimed at breathing, warming up and stretching. The exercises were basically aimed at achieving greater mobility and to develop muscle strength and endurance of selected anatomical parts, in order to prevent injuries. Conclusions: the proposed system constitutes an alternative to prevent conditions of the osteomyoarticular system in stomatologists, based on the training and strengthening of the muscles of the anatomical structures mostly subjected to great efforts during stomatological care.
