Introduction: Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are a significant occupational health concern globally. Traffic Police Personnel (TPP) are a high-risk group due to prolonged static postures, continuous standing, and exposure to environmental stressors, predisposing them to Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSDs).

Aim: To determine the prevalence, distribution, and functional impact of WMSDs among traffic police personnel in Surat, Gujarat, India.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 152 TPP aged 20–50 years. The Modified Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), a validated and widely used tool for screening region-specific musculoskeletal symptoms was used to capture information on 12-month pain, 12-month activity limitation, and presence of pain in the past 7 days.

Results: The most commonly affected regions in the past 12 months were the lower back (25.0%), knees (21.1%), neck (13.8%), and foot/ankle (9.9%). Activity restriction in the last 12 months was highest for the knees (10.5%), followed by the lower back (4.6%). Age-wise analysis showed that lower-back pain predominated in the younger group (20–30 years), while knee pain sharply increased with age, peaking in the 41–50-year group (48.1%).
