Aims: Prevalence of posture and skeletal-muscular disorder will result in consequences such as reduction of power and quality of work, increase in treatment costs, and premature disability. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of postural disorders and their relationship with focal points of pain in traffic police employees.
Materials and Methods: This research is a cross-sectional study that was conducted in 2022 at the traffic police station. 200 available samples were selected according to the entry criteria. The data were collected using a body analysis device, a metal goniometer, a deviation measuring device, a checkerboard with a vertical line, and a standard Nordic questionnaire, and then analyzed by applying the chi-square statistical test at a significance level of p < 0.05 using SPSS 16 software.
Findings: In this research, which was conducted with the presence of 200 male employees of traffic Police with an average age of 39.00 ± 3.31 years, an average weight of 84.98 ± 4.27 kg, and an average height of 174.98 ± 2.31 cm, it was determined that the highest prevalence of posture disorders. In order, the bent knee (49.5%), hyperlordosis (49%), torticollis (47.5%), forward head (44%), kyphosis (42.5%) and uneven shoulder (42.5%), and the lowest prevalence of the described disorders was Genu recurvatum (3.5%), Genu valgum (4.5%) and Genu varum (5%). There was a significant relationship between bent knee syndrome and pain in the knee of the right leg (p<0.05) and left leg (p<001), but between pain in the neck, back, and torticollis, head forward, kyphosis, uneven shoulder, and lordosis were no significant.
Conclusion: The highest prevalence of posture disorders among traffic police officers is bent knee and lordosis, respectively. There is no connection between pain in the neck, back, torticollis, forward head, scoliosis, uneven shoulders, and hyperlordosis, but bent knee and pain in the knee are related.
