	Introduction: Maintaining an erect posture is essential for carrying out every day functional tasks. 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.&#13;
	Aim/Objectives: To assess the Reliability, Agreement, and Validity of FDM Zebris pressure platform to measure Lower Limb weight distribution during quiet standing.&#13;
	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.&#13;
	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.&#13;
	Conclusion: The FDM Zebris pressure platform stands as a reliable and valid tool for evaluating limb load asymmetry in both clinical and research environments.&#13;
