Researchers from the Neiva and Popay\u00e1n campuses of the FISIOTER group at the Mar\u00eda Cano University Foundation, along with the GIPPAM research group from the physical therapy program at the University of Pamplona, have achieved an important publication: \u00abMusculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic risk in coffee pickers: a cross-sectional study\u00bb<\/em>, an article that highlights the work of coffee pickers in the department of Huila.<\/p>\n

This publication is the result of the research project \u00abMusculoskeletal disorders associated with body composition and ergonomic risk in coffee pickers\u00bb<\/em>, conducted in five municipalities of the Huila department (San Agust\u00edn, Teruel, Gigante, Garz\u00f3n, and Pitalito), where coffee varieties such as Castillo, Colombia, Caturra, Typica, Pink Bourbon, and Tab\u00ed are cultivated.<\/p>\n

Physical therapy has reached the territory, helping to identify that the working conditions of coffee pickers are characterized by informality and labor vulnerability. The findings confirm the high probability of injuries and inadequate living conditions among pickers, who are particularly exposed to ergonomic risks. Load handling, prolonged postures, and repetitive movements are biomechanical risk factors that lead to bone, joint, muscle, tendon, and nerve disorders. Back pain is common among coffee pickers compared to non-agricultural rural workers. Pain in the shoulders, elbows, or in the wrists and hands is also significantly more frequent than in other types of agricultural work.<\/p>\n

As researchers and physical therapists, it was a very meaningful challenge to reach the coffee fields and experience a day in the life of a picker\u2014with its climatic and geographical conditions and the art of harvesting the bean\u2014while listening to the life stories of men, women, and children who carry on traditions inherited from their parents and families who live off coffee.<\/p>\n
