Abstract
<p>[Purpose] This study examined the relationship between toe grip strength and ankle angle during comfortable gait or maximum gait, aiming to clarify whether ankle angle was affected exert toe grip strength. [Subjects] The subjects were 27 healthy young women. [Methods] We measured ankle angle during comfortable gait or maximum gait and toe grip strength in 3 different ankle joint positions between the long axis of the foot and the line of progression on the sagittal plane, namely ankle abduction, ankle neutral position, ankle adduction. Relationships between toe grip strength and these measurement items were statistically analyzed using pearsonʼs correlation coefficient. [Results] A negative correlation was observed between toe grip strength in ankle adduction and ankle angle during maximum gait. [Conclusion] These findings suggest that ankle angle during gait relate toe grip strength.</p>
