Background: Peripheral arterial disease is a type of irreversible cell injury to the tissue. Prolonged standing is associated with many health affections related to MSK injury, psychology, mental stress and cardiovascular disease such as DVT. Assessing Ankle-brachial index by Osscilometric technique is an easy, useful tool for screening the population for the prevalence of PAD. This study aims to identify prevalence of PAD in long standing workers using ABI with Osscilometric technique. Method: In this study, 20 long standing workers were selected according to the selection criteria, the participants were installed in a quiet room, or sitting for at least 5 min before measurement. Measurement of systolic pressures of the four limbs were taken in all patients.3 cycles of measurement (right arm, right ankle, left ankle, left arm) were repeated. Results: In our study, prevalence was found to be 23%, out of which 15% were having mild PAD, 8% having moderate PAD. Out of 20 individuals, 14 individuals had a normal score ABI, 6 individuals were found to have lower score- all 6 having bilateral in involvement. 2 of them having moderate and mild involvement in respective lower extremities. Conclusion: Our study concluded that standing for long period has a considerable impact on lower limb blood circulation, and intervention can be made to prevent the circumstances.
