The purpose of : was to know the effect of ankle strategy exercise and core stability exercise on dynamic balance in elderly. Methods :is pre experimental using one group pre-test and post test. The population in this study is all elderly people in Posyandu lansia Pasar Baru Padang Panjang year 2018 which amounted to 72 elderly. Sampling in research using purposive sampling technique so that got sample as much 16 person elderly.
