Overview

Cross-sectional pilot study identifies a strong link between toe grip strength and functional mobility, highlighting the impact of foot posture on balance.

Key Points

  • Toe grip strength is positively associated with functional mobility in older adults with pronated feet.
  • Mean toe grip strength was 2.66 kg, while functional mobility, measured by SPPB, had a mean score of 3.75.
  • The study employed a cross-sectional design to assess correlations between toe grip strength, foot posture, and physical performance.
  • Findings suggest that improving toe grip strength may help enhance mobility and decrease fall risk in the elderly.
