Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders represent a contemporary epidemiological challenge, directly affecting functional capacity and workplace productivity. This article reports the structure and implementation of the "Human Kinetics" Extension Project, developed by undergraduate Physical Therapy students at UNAMA Marabá/PA, aimed at the prevention and rehabilitation of spinal and upper limb dysfunctions among the institution's employees. Through postural assessments, orthopedic examinations, and supervised therapeutic exercises, the initiative integrated academic knowledge with social responsibility, aligned with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. The results demonstrated improvements in pain symptoms and functional performance among the participants, while also strengthening the students' clinical reasoning and humanized professional training. These findings reinforce the essential role of physical therapy in promoting workers' health and preventing occupational musculoskeletal disorders.
