Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between toe-grip strength and one-leg standing time in home-visit rehabilitation. [Subjects] The subjects were 33 users of home-visit rehabilitation, who could stand independently for more than 30 seconds. [Methods] Bilateral toe-grip strength was measured three times and one-leg standing time was measured three times. The maximum values were used in the statistical analysis. The relationship between toe-grip strength and one-leg standing time was evaluated using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. [Results] The correlation coefficient value was 0.776, indicating there was a strong correlation. [Conclusion] This result suggests that toe-grip strength is necessary for balance ability.
