Sumario:[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to consider the correlation between ankle plantar flexion strength and degree of body sway. [Participants and Methods] Twenty-one healthy adult males were targeted. A handheld dynamometer was used to measure ankle plantar flexion strength. The Body Pressure Measurement System was used to measure the degree of body sway. Lastly, correlation between ankle plantar flexion strength and degree of body sway was considered. [Results] A negative correlation was observed between ankle plantar flexion strength and degree of body sway. [Conclusion] Regarding ankle plantar flexion strength and degree of body sway, results of a consideration using a handheld dynamometer and Body Pressure Measurement System were the same as that of previous studies using large equipment.
