Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals hallux strength predicts physical performance and fall risk in older adults, highlighting its clinical significance.

Key Points

  • Hallux plantar flexion strength is significantly associated with physical performance and fall risk.
  • Positive correlations were observed between Paper Grip Test scores and the Short Physical Performance Battery results.
  • Regression models show Timed Up and Go and SLS tests can effectively predict hallux strength performance.
  • The findings suggest that the Paper Grip Test could be a cost-effective screening tool for identifying functional decline.
