Purpose: We believe that toe pressure strength in the standing position, which is closer to the actual movement, is more associated with standing up in the older adults than the conventional toe grip strength. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the association between toe pressure strength in the standing position and the presence of assistance in standing up in the older adults.Methods: Ninety-five community-dwelling older adults (82 ± 8 years old, 72% female) were included in this study. The patients were evaluated based on their need for assistance in standing up. Physical functions, including toe pressure strength in the standing position, toe grip strength, hand grip strength, knee extension strength, one-leg standing time with eyes open, and maximal walking speed, were measured.Results: When compared with and without assistance to stand up, the group requiring assistance had weaker toe pressure strength in the standing position than the group without assistance (p = 0.015, ES = 0.53). After adjusting for confounding factors, the final model revealed that toe pressure strength in the standing position was associated with the use of assistance in standing up (odds ratio 0.94 [0.88–0.99, p = 0.025]).Conclusion: Toe pressure strength in the standing position was associated with the use of assistance in standing up in older adults. Improving toe pressure strength in the standing position may facilitate the ability of older adults to stand up.Taishiro Kamasaki, Takayuki Tabira, Mizuki Hachiya, Shinichi Tanaka, Takahiro Kitajima, Kohei Ochishi, Suguru Shimokihara, Michio Maruta, Gwanghee Han & Hiroshi OtaoComparison of toe pressure strength in the standing position and toe grip strength in association with the presence of assistance in standing up: a cross-sectional study in community-dwelling older adultsEuropean Geriatric Medicine 14, 429–438 (2023)https://doi.org/10.1007/s41999-023-00776-zFirst published in European Geriatric Medicine, 14, 429–438, 2023 by Springer Nature
