Abstract
Sosei Sanarudai Club starts it's service since 2012 as a general type of day service. Health indexes, such as toe gap force, time up and go test, functional reach test, weight etc. have examined every month from the beginning. It is well known that toe gap force is important index keeping away from fall. As time up and go test and functional reach test also seem to be relative indexes of fall, the relationship of three indexes was investigated. The interval of the investigation is from November, 2013 to November, 2014. Subjects were 9 elderly who took about 20 minute's exercise when they came to the day service. Correlation between the changing rate of each index during one year and the frequency of coming to the day service was inspected and toe gap force (left) was only one index that had the correlation coefficient of 0.622 (P=0.041).
