Abstract
Background: Students of the Orthotic and Prosthetics Department of Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta carry out an educational program in which 60% of their lab work involves prolonged standing for ≥30 minutes to 4 hours. This is a major factor in musculoskeletal disorders, particularly heel pain.
Objective: To determine the relationship between the duration of standing during practical sessions and the intensity of heel pain among students of the Orthotics and Prosthetics Department.
Methods and Subjects: This study was conducted from February 3 to April 10, 2026, at Campus 2 of the Orthotic and Prosthetics Department, Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta, using an observational interview method with a cross-sectional research design. The sample size was 59.
Results: Based on the data obtained from 59 respondents, the analysis results showed that the significant value between the duration of standing during the practicum and pain in heels was 0.029 where p<0.05.
