Abstract (296 Views)
Objectives: 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 Headquarters of the Islamic Republic of Iran Police.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in the summer of 1404 (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 software, version 26.
Results: Findings indicated that postural abnormalities are common among managers in their third decade of service, with the most prevalent lower limb abnormality being flexed knee (44%) and the most common upper body abnormality being forward shoulder posture (43%). These results align with similar studies conducted on military personnel and reflect the impact of occupational conditions and work environment on the musculoskeletal status of the subjects.
Conclusion: Given the high prevalence and negative consequences of these abnormalities on health and productivity, it is essential to implement regular screening programs, awareness education, and prescribe corrective exercises in a systematic and serious manner among military managers in their third decade of service to improve their postural quality and overall health.
