Abstract
Prolonged standing is a routine occupational demand for traffic police, placing them at high risk for foot and ankle musculoskeletal disorders due to cumulative mechanical stress and altered plantar pressure distribution. Despite the resulting pain and functional decline, this issue remains underexplored in the Indian healthcare context. Early identification of these impairments is critical to preserving occupational capacity and preventing chronic long-term disability.
