Total number of 70 children who were normally developing in the age 8 - 11 years, boys n = 36 and girls n = 34 were included in this study. The outcome measure which used was the biodex balance system at level 3 of dynamic test measuring anteroposterior (APSI), Overall stability index (OSI) mediolateral (MLSI) and the functional reach test (FRT) to assess the balance in normal children after measuring child weight, height, Body mass index (BMI) and width of base of support. The person correlation coefficient (R) was used to measure the association between weight, height and width of base of support and balance tests. One way analysis of variance identified association between the no. of children in each group with the balance variables UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
