Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between great toe strength (GTS) and balance/mobility, focusing specifically on great toe extension strength (GTES) and how it's often overlooked in clinical evaluations.
- - Researchers used the ToeScale and hand-grip dynamometer to measure GTES and grip strength, analyzing data from 31 participants to find that males generally had higher GTES than females across age groups.
- - Findings indicated that GTES associations with age, sex, BMI, and grip strength vary, with machine learning models showing low-to-moderate accuracy compared to traditional analysis; further research with larger samples and improved models is necessary.
