Abstract
Background: Proprioceptive sense plays an important role of protective reflex response against harmful forces on joint. Load on musculoskeletal system increases with higher body weights and joint becomes prone to injuries. Purpose of study: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of body mass index on ankle proprioception in adult females.Material and method: Eighty- seven adult females participated in the study, their age between (18-35) years old. Subjects were divided into three groups; each group consists of 29 female patients. group A: Females with BMI (18-24.9) Kg/m². group B: Females with BMI (25-29.9) Kg/m², group C: Females with BMI (30-34.9) Kg/m².The isokinetic dynamometer was used to measure ankle joint proprioception. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference in ankle active repositioning error between normal subjects and obese subjects (p value<0.05).However there was no significant difference in ankle active repositioning error between normal and overweight subjects and between overweight and obese persons (p value{u02C3}0.05). Conclusion: Obese adult females with BMI between (30:34.9) Kg/m² have deficit on their ankle proprioception
