Abstract (1078 Views)
Aims: The prevalence of postural abnormalities poses a threat to the health of managers and administrative staff across various departments, necessitating regular screening and monitoring to prevent the complications associated with these abnormalities. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of postural abnormalities among military managers in their third decade of service at the Command of Law Enforcement of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Instruments & Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in the summer of 2025 with the participation of 210 male military managers in their third decade of service. Participants were assessed using the observational New York Posture Test, which includes 13 different body postures, as well as a visual evaluation of knee joint status. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 26 software.
Findings: Postural abnormalities were common among managers in their third decade of service, with the most prevalent lower limb abnormality being a flexed knee complication (44%) and the most common upper body abnormality being forward shoulder (43%). These findings align with similar studies conducted on military personnel and reflect the impact of occupational conditions and the work environment on the musculoskeletal status of the subjects.
Conclusion: Postural abnormalities are common in the workplace of military managers in their third decade of service for various reasons.
