Abstract: This study aims to determine the relationship between Quadriceps muscle strength and dynamic balance in the elderly. This study used a cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of 43 elderly people who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria with a purposive sampling technique. Quadriceps muscle strength was measured using the Chair Stand Test (CST), while dynamic balance was measured using the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT). Data analysis was performed using the Spearman rank test. The Spearman Rank test results showed a p value = 0.000 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of r = -0.823, which indicates a significant relationship with a strong correlation strength between Quadriceps muscle strength and dynamic balance in the elderly. The negative correlation value indicates that the better the Quadriceps muscle strength, the lower the risk of dynamic balance disorders. It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between Quadriceps muscle strength and dynamic balance in the elderly in Banjar Dinas Pasek, Tajun Village, Kubutambahan District, Buleleng Regency, Bali. Good Quadriceps muscle strength contributes to the ability to maintain dynamic balance, so strengthening lower limb muscles can be an effort to prevent the risk of falls in the elderly.
