Abstract
Occupational problems of the foot and ankle have received less attention than those of other body regions, namely the hand, neck, and lumbar spine. Functional requirements of the foot and ankle differ from other body regions, necessitating a different clinical approach to injuries than those indicated in the upper extremity or back. This article reviews the clinical characteristics of the foot and ankle pertinent to the worker and highlights the unique features of the management of foot and ankle problems encountered in occupational orthopedic practice.
