Summary: Abstract: To determine the Normal Reference Value of Functional Reach Test for Filipinos aged 65-75 years, and to correlate the anthropometric measurements such as arm length, height and weight, gender to Functional Reach Test scores. This study collected the Normative Reference Values for Functional Reach Test and utilized a Quantitative Descriptive Research design quantifying its correlation between variables, such as Anthropometric measures of height, weight and arm length and gender as well. The data was collected and calculated using the Minitab Software and analyzed by the statistician. It has been found out that the Normal Reference Values for Functional Reach Test of this study is 11.81 +/-1.35 inches for the aged of 65/75 years old. It is concluded that there is no correlation between anthropometric measures; height and weight to the FRT scores, as well as the genders, but it was shown that the arm length has a positively week correlation to the FRT scores. It has been concluded that only arm length has a correlation to the functional reach test scores, as compared to the anthropometric measurements, and the suggested normative reference values obtained for the functional reach test for Filipinos aged 65/75 years old in 11.81=/-1.35.
