ABSTRACT

Background:  Human balance depends on coordinated integration of sensory input from somatosensory, vestibular and visual systems. Proprioception includes 3 components: sense of position, sense of movement and sense of force. Most of the injuries have the potential to decrease proprioception and subsequently balance. It is important to understand the relation between proprioception and balance in young adults. Thus this study aimed at co-relating static and dynamic balance with knee proprioception in Normals.

Purpose of the study: To understand the correlation of balance with knee proprioception.

Materials and Methods: Young asymptomatic adults (N=50),equal males (n=25) and females (n=25) between the age group of 18-30years (mean age=21.2) were assessed for knee joint proprioception at 60⁰  using universal goniometer, static balance  using Balance Error Scoring System(BESS) and dynamic balance using Star excursion balance test (SEBT).

Result: There is a weak negative correlation [r = -0.3161(rt) and r = -0.1599(lt)] of knee joint proprioception error with dynamic balance and a weak positive correlation [r = 0.3358(rt) and r = 0.2912(lt)] of knee joint proprioception error with static balance error.

Conclusion: The study concludes that lesser the knee joint proprioception error better is the dynamic balance. And lesser the knee joint proprioception error lesser is the static balance error.

KEY WORDS: Static balance, dynamic balance, knee proprioception error, star excursion balance test, balance error scoring system.
