Women's hormone levels decrease year by year during menopause, following which they are more likely to experience many changes as a result of this hormonal imbalance. Estrogen reacts directly and indirectly over muscle and results in condition leading to muscle loss, that brings about which in turn results in restrictions in physical abilities, muscle strength, and balance accelerating their risk of falling. Therefore this study compared fall prevention techniques in postmenopausal women by incorporating proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and exercises utilizing elastic bands. OBJECTIVES - To find out effect of pelvic PNF and lower limb strengthening to improve balance and strength for fall prevention. METHOD- It is a control group experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design. total no. of 24 postmenopausal women of age 45 to 65 were included in the study, Pelvic PNF along with lower limb PNF was administered to Experimental Group whereas lower limb strengthening was given to Control group. Along with the above intervention, home based exercises was also provided. All the subjects in the study underwent a basic assessment and then they were randomly assigned into one of two groups, the 4-week treatment plan of 3 sessions per week for 30-35 minutes was given. RESULT After the 4 week PNF and elastic band exercise, both the experimental group and control groups showed statistically significant differences within the groups, except for POMA in the control group that showed no significant results. FTSTS in experimental group with p value (0.008*) and in control group with p-value (0.000*). POMA with p value (0.02*) within experimental group showed
