Aims: In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between standing static position, Balance, muscles and Anthropometric features in young adults and we studied the Anterior, Posterior, Neutral posture and muscle shortening/Contractures. Methods: The present study was carried out in Department of Anatomy, Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College & Research Center, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh (India) from a period of March 2017 to November 2018. 400 subjects (of both sexes) at Teerthanker Mahaveer University, Moradabad UP (India) aged between 18-30 years were taken for the study. Subjects under the age of 18 years and above the 30 years, with any Muscular disorder, orthopedic deformities and not willing to participate in study were excluded. In the study, type of balance in lateral posture analysis was investigated and anthropometric measurements were conducted and a plumb-line was used for lateral static balance analysis. Results: Neutral posture was present in majority of males in all age groups {(18-21, n=78) (22-25, n=22), and (26-30, n=09)}. Followed by Anterior posture {(18-21, n=48), (22-25, n=15), and (26-30, n=05) and posterior posture {(18-21, n=44), (22-25, n=13), (26-30, n=03)}. Neutral posture was present in majority of females in all age groups {(18-21, n=71) (22-25, n=11), (26- 30, n=04)}. Followed by Anterior posture {(18-21, n=36) (22-25, n=05), (26-30, n=01)} and posterior posture {(18-21, n= 27), (22-25, n= 04), (26-30, n= 04)). Conclusion: As a conclusion, there was a significant relationship between anthropometric properties (muscle shortness and waist/thigh ratio) and postural balance type in the light of study results, and taking this information into account in the clinical evaluation of these individuals would be helpful for the treatment of painful standing defects.
