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.}, number={1}, publisher={Haliç Üniversitesi}
