Abstract
This article associates the way of using the basket with the degree of pain in the collection of Mora de Castilla. A cross-sectional correlational study is presented, with the participation of four male workers. The real conditions of the task were analyzed in 256 positions using the O.W.A.S. It was found that 45.3% of the positions have a risk level of 2. The statistical association of the treatment with the level of risk was p = 0.709, for back p = 0.516, for arms p = 0.005 and for legs p <0, 05. It is concluded that there is no significant difference between the treatment and the level of risk of the task, which suggests that the way in which farmers use the basket does not influence an increase or decrease in postural risk in the collection task of Mora de Castilla. However, according to O.W.A.S. It is necessary to implement corrective actions in the near future. The way farmers use the basket does not influence an increase or decrease in postural risk in the task of collecting Mora de Castilla.
