Overview

Cross-sectional analysis examines hallux strength's influence on physical performance and fall risk, suggesting predictive value for community-dwelling older adults.

Key Points

  • Hallux plantar flexion strength is positively correlated with physical performance metrics.
  • Significant correlations between PGT and SLS time were found, highlighting the importance of hallux strength.
  • The PGT significantly predicted fall risk, explaining 20% of the variance in performance for the left foot.
  • Results indicate that hallux strength assessment can serve as a valuable screening tool for fall risk in older adults.
