Prolonged static posture and vibrating environment in cab drivers causes strain on musculoskeletal system especially lower limbs.
This observational study was used to observe the percentage of cab drivers having soft tissue dysfunctions of lower limb.
100 cab drivers of age group 25–45 who are driving since 5 years were selected and were assessed using Postural Examination Chart and Lower Extremity Function Scale for soft tissue dysfunction.
According to Lower Extremity Function Scale Score, 55% of cab drivers had soft tissue dysfunction of lower limb and according to Postural Examination Chart,100% cab drivers had normal postural alignment.
We found that 55% cab drivers had soft tissue dysfunction of lower limb.
