Aim and Objective: To determine the effect of square stepping exercise(SSE) on lower limb coordination in young old population. Design: Experimental study. Method: 40 subjects with age group: 65-74 years were randomly assigned into two groups: SSE group (n =20), control group (n = 20). SSE group received 4 weeks of Square stepping exercise training. Control group received 4 weeks of Frenkel’s exercise training. Results: Comparing the post values of grades of coordination of SSE group and control group, SSE group (p < 0.0001, t = 13.077) showed a significant improvement than control group (p = 0.0009, t = 3.943). Conclusion: Square stepping exercise is better than Frenkel’s exercise in improving lower limb coordination in young old population.
