INTERVENÇÃO FISIOTERAPÊUTICA NAS LESÕES MUSCULOESQUELÉTICAS, EM POLICIAIS, CAUSADAS PELO USO DE MATERIAIS BÉLICOS: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Abstract

The Military Police is an institution that provides an emergency service and is usually run by the number 190, or personally in the streets, on patrols or in the barracks. The police activity works in an ostensive way in the operational functions, carried out in the streets, the military policemen must maintain corporal postures always ready to the "combat", having as doctrine a specific physical preparation. When it comes to postural disorders, repetitive overloading of the spine, and maintenance of dynamic and static postures for a prolonged period of time, the area of health that represents important relevance to the subject is physiotherapy, whose purpose is to promote health and integrity of muscles, bones and other structures responsible for promoting body movements and proper functioning of the body. The objective of this research is to identify the physiotherapeutic intervention in musculoskeletal injuries in military police officers caused by the use of military materials associated with postural imbalances. Using as a methodology a relative and current bibliographical survey about the topic addressed, using as search strategies the Controlled Descriptors in Health (DeCS): Military Police / Military Police, Physiotherapy / Physiotherapy and Musculoskeletal Injuries / Musculoskeletal Injuries, we used the articles found in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Virtual Health Library (VHL), only the articles that deal with the proposed topic were used in Google Scholar. In every country there are about 190 thousand professionals in this field, who during their career must maintain physical fitness for their work to be performed, the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries in military police has been the subject of numerous investigations, for if it is a major public health problem and physical therapy because it is a profession capable of maintaining the integrity of the musculoskeletal system needs to be better disseminated within these institutions, this work being the first step for further research to be performed in order to elucidate the importance of this professional in this field.
