The ability to maintain balance while standing is influenced by factors such as visual signals and how weight is distributed in the lower extremities. Symmetrical distribution of weight on both legs is deemed as balanced limb loading. Certain key activities like transitioning from sitting to standing, standing, walking, and running are considered energetically advantageous when both lower limbs exhibit symmetrical load distribution. Aim/Objectives: To assess the Reliability, Agreement, and Validity of FDM Zebris pressure platform to measure Lower Limb weight distribution during quiet standing. Methods: One hundred healthy adults (53 males, 47 females) were recruited through convenience sampling method from the Employees of CHARUSAT University. The participants were required to perform a quiet standing task during the measurement of LLA. The measurements were taken over three trials. LLA was measured through FDM Zebris pressure platform and compared with the digital weighing scales method. All data was collected in kilograms. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) analysis, standard error of measurement, and coefficient of variation were performed to assess reliability and validity. The Bland-Altman plot was used to test the degree of agreement between FDM Zebris pressure platform and the digital weighing scales. Results: FDM Zebris pressure platform was 0.916, suggesting excellent intrarater reliability, and 0.915, suggesting excellent Interrater reliability. Pearson and ICC correlations of FDM Zebris pressure platform and DWSs were supporting concurrent validity (Right side r – 0.948 and Left side r – 0.946). The discrepancy in measurements between the digital weighing scale and the FDM Zebris pressure platform was minimal, with a bias of 0.290 on the right side and -0.290 on the left side. Conclusion: The FDM Zebris pressure platform stands as a reliable and valid tool for evaluating limb load asymmetry in both clinical and research environments.

Childhood malnutrition among urban poor is similar to or higher than rural poor. Here a comparative study of health profile of children 0-6yrs of age residing in the urban slums covered by ICDS and not covered by ICDS in Siddipet telangana was undertaken. Mothers and children under 6 year’s age constitute a high priority group because children are connected with their development and survival. The development of the nation lies in the hands of the children who are the future citizens. The two major deficiency syndromes affecting the preschool children in developing countries are protein energy malnutrition and nutritional anemia. Both these condition shave considerable impact on child’s physical and mental development. Objective: The objective of the study is to study and compare the prevalence of anemia among children in ICDS and non ICDS areas. Methods: A cross – sectional study with comparison group was carried out in urban slums of Siddipet city in the ICDS and Non-ICDS areas. In all 560 children were examined from each area and the prevalence of anemia was estimate din both the areas separately. Results: Pevalence of anemia among0-6years children in ICDS and Non- ICDS areas was 47.9 %( 44.1% in male and 51% in female) and 56.1 % (47.8% in male and 63.7% in female) respectively. Majority of the anemia male children were having moderate grade of anemia in both the groups i.e.24.4% in ICDS and 29.9% in Non-ICDS area. Cases of severe grade of anemia were seen in 1-3 years children in ICDS whereas in Non- ICDS group they were from1-4 years age group. Majority of the anemia female children were having moderate anemia in both the groups (30.7% and 45.2%). Conclusion: Prevalence of anemia was found as in ICDS area was 47.9% compared to 56.1% in then on ICDS area. Statistically this difference was not significant. Infants showed least prevalence of anemia in both the groups. EnglishHealth Education, Lactating Mothers, Anemia, Children, ICDS.
