Abstract (English):	Objective: Describe social demographic and occupational factors in a group of workers from circular area weavers who operate machines Monarch brand at a Textile Company in Bogota between the months of October 2011 to June 2012. Materials and Methods: Descriptive, Case Series study. The target population was composed by weavers workers aged 18 and over who have musculoskeletal injuries and operates MONARCH machines at a Circular Area Textile Company in Bogota. From 300 workers, 150 had symptoms, of which 94 met the inclusion criteria. Results: We found that 68.1% of the studied population had low back pain, Shoulder pain 28.7%, is 18.1% epicondylitis and carpal tunnel syndrome in 17%. One musculoskeletal injury was presented in 72% and 22% two lesions. The most frequent combination was back pain and shoulder pain in 38.1%. Low back pain was more frequent between 31 and 45 years (72.7%). Conclusions: The most common musculoskeletal injury was low back pain, when presented as a single lesion or such as combination with others. Workers had more commonly one musculoskeletal injury, being less frequent associations between two or more. The workers whom perform physical activity were 40.9% because the bike is their daily transportation. It would be important in future studies to compare the asymptomatic population with musculoskeletal injured population in order to make associations and assess possible risks and protective factors.

Abstract (Spanish):	Objetivo. Describir algunos factores sociodemográficos y ocupacionales en un grupo de trabajadores tejedores del área de circulares, quienes operan máquinas marca Monarch en una Empresa Textil en Bogotá entre los meses de Octubre 2011 a Junio de 2012. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, Serie de Casos. La población en estudio fueron trabajadores tejedores mayores de 18 años que presentan lesiones osteomusculares, y que operan máquinas MONARCH en el Área de Circulares de una Empresa Textil en Bogotá. De 300 trabajadores, 150 presentaron síntomas, de ellos 94 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Resultados: Se encontró que el 68,1% de la población estudiada presentó dolor lumbar, Hombro doloroso 28,7%, Epicondilitis es del 18,1% y Síndrome de Túnel del carpo en el 17%. Se presentaron en el 72% una lesión osteomuscular y en un 22% dos lesiones. La combinación más frecuente fue dolor lumbar y hombro doloroso en 38,1%. El dolor lumbar fue más frecuente entre los 31 y 45 años (72,7%). Conclusiones: La lesión osteomuscular más frecuente fue el dolor lumbar, cuando se presentó como única lesión o en combinación con otras. Los trabajadores presentaron con mayor frecuencia una sola lesión osteomuscular, siendo menos frecuente las asociaciones entre estas. Los trabajadores realizaban actividad física en un 40,9% debido a que la bicicleta es su medio de transporte diario. Sería importante en próximos estudios comparar población asintomática con la población con alguna patología osteomuscular para hacer asociaciones y establecer posibles factores protectores y de riesgo.
