Objective- Ageing is associated with changes to the structure and function of the foot and ankle, and there is preliminary evidence that foot problems impair balance.The present study was done with the aimto study the effects of resisted ankle dorsiflexors exercises on balance in elderly individual with the help of balance measures FRT, BBS. The lower extremity muscle torque was evaluated using strain gauge., Method- 20 elderly subjects both males and females, age-group >60 years were divided into two groups: Group 1(n=10) resisted exercises for 20 minutes and 4 sessions/week for 6 weeks and Group 2 (n= 10) was encouraged active life style. The balance scores were assessed using FRT, BBS., Result- Within group analysis shows that both groups had significant improvement in the variables (p< 0.05) but there was no significant change between the groups (p < 0.05)., Conclusion- Interventions to improve the strength and flexibility of the foot improve balance and help to reduce the risk of falls.
