Abstract

Ankle foot pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder affecting different occupational groups, including university teachers. The purpose of this research is to establish the level of ankle foot pain among university teachers, risk factors, and possible prevention measures. The study design used in the present research was a cross-sectional observational study that involved university teachers using structured questionnaires, clinical assessment, and observational techniques. Demographic, occupational, and environmental information were gathered and compared. The study showed that majority of the university teachers had ankle foot pain with factors such as age, body weight, duration of standing, and type of shoes worn being key indicators of the condition. Measures aimed at reducing the risk factors and encouraging the use of ergonomics and musculoskeletal health promotion were considered. Ankle foot pain is a significant concern that affects the health and efficiency of university teachers. It is crucial to apply specific measures to reduce occupational risk factors to prevent pain and improve the well-being and quality of life of academics.
