In elderly, the reduction of muscular function and strength results in reduced capability to maintain the balance of the body. Strength training is beneficial to increase muscular mass and strength, bone mass, joint flexibility, dynamic balance, self-confidence and self-esteem. However, most of the patients in knee joint paint currently prevent physical exercise, which is otherwise highly recommended to improve the strength of their muscle. Strength training also reduces the symptoms of chronic diseases, whose primary symptom is joint pain. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of strength training on the improvement of postural balance in elderly knee joint pain. This study used pre-experimental-one group pre post test design. Samples were taken using purposive sampling according to the inclusion criteria, which comprised 15 individuals. The independent variable was strength training, and the dependent variable was postural balance in elderly knee joint pain. Data were analyzed with paired t test with significance level of s 0.05. The result of paired t test revealed p = 0.000. In conclusion, strength training can improve postural balance in elderly knee joint pain. Strength training can also increase muscular strength in elderly, which has a role in improving postural balance.
