Foot Injury |
|
According to the National Safety
Council, approximately
120,000 job-related foot injuries occur every year. A number of
foot problems -- including arthritis of
the foot and ankle, toe deformities,
pinched nerves between the toes, plantar
fasciitis, adult-acquired flat foot, and
tarsal tunnel syndrome -- have been
attributed to repetitive use at work.
In addition, many foot
injuries result from non work-related accidents such as:
falls on defective or uneven sidewalks; interior and
exterior stairways or steps and hazardous floor conditions
on private and commercial properties.
There are several types
of common foot injuries:
-
Achilles Tendon Rupture

Plantar Fasciitis Tear

Metatarsalgia

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
