Abstract

BACKGROUND: Anthropometric and demographic properties may affect balance, but there is no consensus on this subject; so, there is a need for studies that explore it. This study aimed to assess the relationship between balance and anthropometric as well as demographic properties; and to determine the effect of anthropometric and demographic properties on balance in healthy adults.
