Abstract

Bu çalışma, ağır metal fabrikası işçilerinin rutin çalışma ortamlarında statik plantar basınç analizi ile yorgunluk koşulları arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 41,69 ± 9,82 olan 89 ağır metal fabrikası işçisi dahil edildi. Katılımcıların Yorgunluk düzeyleri “Yorgunluk Şiddeti Ölçeği’’ ile değerlendirildi. Sağ ve sol ayağın ön ayak, arka ayak ve toplam basınç dağılımları statik pedobarografik cihazla analiz edildi. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişki Spearman korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirildi. Çalışanların yorgunluk düzeyleri ile sağ ve sol ayağın ön, arka ve toplam statik plantar basınç dağılımları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı (p> 0,05). Ağır metal işçilerinin yorgunluk seviyeleri ile statik plantar basınç dağılımları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki yoktu. İleride yapılacak çalışmalarda, çalışanların plantar basınç analizlerinin çalışma saatleri içerisinde dinamik olarak değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between static plantar pressure analysis and fatigue conditions in heavy metal factory workers' routine working environments. 89 heavy metal factory workers with a mean age of 41.69 ± 9.82 were included in the study. The Fatigue level of the participants was evaluated with the “Fatigue Severity Scale. Forefoot, hindfoot and total pressure distributions of right and left feet were analyzed with the static pedobarographic devices. The relationship between the variables was evaluated by Spearman correlation analysis. No significant correlation was found between fatigue level of workers and forefoot, hindfoot and total static plantar pressure distributions of right and left foot (p>0,05). There was no significant relationship between the fatigue level of heavy metal workers and static plantar pressure distributions. In future studies, it is recommended that workers plantar pressure analyzes be evaluated dynamically during working hours.
