Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how working posture, physical balance, and work accumulation affect plantar pressure in dental hygienists, using REBA for posture assessment and a Gait Analyzer for plantar pressure measurement.
- Among 24 dental hygienists, findings revealed a mean REBA score of 4.96, indicating that 87.5% displayed poor working posture, with significant differences in plantar pressure between their feet.
- The study concluded that poor posture can lead to musculoskeletal disorders in dental hygienists, highlighting the need for interventions such as training, better ergonomics, and environmental improvements to promote proper posture.
