Brief Summary
|
The research gap highlights the urgent need for a targeted, correlational investigation that will look at how plantar pressure distribution is affected by foot posture and how this results in plantar or foot pain. By Understanding these processes that are leading to foot discomfort in nurses can create efficient preventative and treatment plan, as “Nurses are the biggest group of healthcare workers” in the world. The objective is to investigate how “foot posture” influences “plantar pressure distribution” among nurses that can contribute to plantar pain . |
