Background:The decreasing of muscle strength is one of real changing from the elders' processes, including leg muscle. There are many factors that cause the decreasing of muscle strength. The main factor is decreasing of mass muscle. By the decreasing of muscle strength in postural control, it will ensue most of fall accidents for elders. Someone's leg muscle strength can be measured by using Leg Dynamometer. Research purposes:to know the correlation between the leg muscle strength and the falling risk for elders in Jaten village Juwiring sub district Klaten. Research benefit:can know the correlation between the leg muscle strength and the falling risk for elders in Jaten village Juwiring sub district Klaten. Research method:the kind of research which is used in this research is Observational by using Cross Sectional. The technique used to take the sample is by using Purposive Sampling with 75 people for the total of sample. The measuring of leg muscle strength is by using Leg Dynamometer, whereas the falling risk is assessed by using Tinetti Gait and Balance Evaluation test. The correlation test is using Chi Square test with the degree of confident as much as 95%. Research findings:Based on the result of Chi Square test, it can be known that p-value 0,000<0,005 H0 is rejected and Hα is accepted. So, it means that there is correlation between the leg muscle strength and the falling risk for elders in Jaten village Juwiring subdistrict Klaten. Conclusion:There is correlation between the leg muscle strength and the falling risk for elders in Jaten village Juwiring subdistrict Klaten.
