Abstract
Introduction: The rural worker, in his work activity, uses the extensor muscles of the lumbar spine in a large number of his actions, and when the abdominal muscles reduce their strength and an imbalance occurs between the flexor and extensor muscles of the trunk, which can result in a backache.
Objective: To demonstrate the correlation between the work activity of rural workers and low back pain.
Methods: This study constitutes a systematic review, classified as exploratory and descriptive. The preparation of the research was a bibliographical search in electronic databases on methods associated with RSL (Systematic Literature Review) and the applications of SMARTER ( Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique using Exploiting Rankings ).
Results: A comprehensive systematic search of the literature yielded a total of 852 articles referring to the correlation between low back pain and rural workers, of which 14 articles were eligible to be included in this systematic review.
Conclusion: The conclusion of this study highlights the importance of integrated and personalized approaches to reduce the risks and impacts of this condition on the health and well-being of rural workers.
