| description | Objective: To find out the effect of strength training of dorsiflexors of ankle on the balance in elderly.
Methods: Healthy elderly were selected and divided into two groups. One group got stretching,
mobilization and strength training of ankle dorsiflexors while no exercises were given to the other
group. Balance of the two groups were compared by means of functional reach test and performance
oriented mobility assessment.
Results: A significant improvement in the balance was found in the exercise group.
Conclusion: By restoring the normal biomechanics and increased dorsiflexors strength of the ankle,
there is improvement in balance in elderly.
