Toe grip force of the dominant foot is associated with fall risk in community‐dwelling older adults: a cross‐sectional study

Abstract Background It is unclear whether the toe grip force (TGF) of the dominant foot (DF) and the lower limb function asymmetry (LLFA) in older adults are associated with fall risk. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of lower limb properties (such as TGF, muscle strength, and p...
