Abstract (EN): The Musculoskeletal disorders are a heterogeneous group of diseases that include peripheral nerve compressions, muscular and vascular disorders, tendinitis and tenosynovitis. Tend to be referred to as being related directly or indirectly with the work. It is intended with this article to contribute to clarify this relationship. Are provided clues stemming from results of three evaluations by three different methods done independently, but coordinated, by three teams, to the same group of workers. The study had as targeted a factory with 620 workers, 166 of whom work in the studied production sector. The sample consisted of 109 individuals which have been assessed by three different methods (nordic inquiry, medical examination and RULA). From this evaluation was diagnosed DME in workers that didn't present symptoms. This strand unexpected and not habitually addressed needs further studies. This strand unexpected and habitually not addressed, needs for further study.
