Effects of an Intervention for Improving Toe Pressure Strength on the Physical Function of Older Adults Requiring Long-Term Care: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Listen to this summary
This study aimed to determine whether an intervention designed to improve toe pressure strength in the standing position could enhance muscle strength and physical function in community-dwelling older adults. The results indicated that toe pressure strength training significantly improved both toe pressure strength and maximum walking speed after 12 weeks, highlighting the intervention's potential benefits for older adults requiring long-term care.
