Background: The ankle and foot complex play a critical role in maintaining erect posture, as also in adaptation to supporting surfaces, The Foot Posture Index (FPI), which was developed by Redmond AC in 1998. FPI provides quantitative measurements of the typical deviations of foot posture and is sensitive enough to detect any structural dysfunction in the foot. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is universally expressed in units of kg/m2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in meters. Commonly accepted BMI ranges are underweight: under 18.5, normal weight: 18.5 to 25, overweight: 25 to30, obese: over 30.
Purpose: To find the effect of foot posture index associated with body mass index and standing balance in healthy population
Materials and Methods: An observational study with 30 participants age between 18 to 30 were recruited in the study, where body mass index, foot posture index and standing balance was noted using the balance master.
Results: The study revealed that no statistically significant difference between the foot posture index, body mass index and standing balance
Conclusion: There is no effect of foot posture index associated with body mass index and standing balance in healthy population .
Key Words: Foot posture index, BMI, Balance.
