Abstract: Background: BMI is an indicator of relative obesity which can be used to screen for weight categories that may lead to many health problems. Increased BMI along with weakness of calf may lead to plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. As the Literature is lacking for correlation between BMI and plantar flexors strength, this study was conducted with the same objective. Method: 120 participants were taken for standing heel rise test. BMI was considered according to Indian population. Best of 3 measurements was taken into consideration for data analysis for right and left side. Result: Correlation was done for all 4 categories (underweight, normal, overweight and obese) with number of heel rise. Significant negative correlation was found for BMI and number of heel rise for both sides. Conclusion: Number of heel rise decreases with increased BMI value. Special attention is required for calf muscle evaluation procedure for overweight and obese population.
Keywords: Plantar flexors, Manual muscle testing, Body mass index.
