| Research Abstract |
This study investigated the relationship between toe flexor strength and postural control and the factors related to toe flexor strength in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Toe flexor strength had significantly positive correlation with the ability to shift the center of pressure in the forward direction and foot flexibility in PD patients. These results suggest that toe flexor weakness was associated with disability to shift the center of pressure in the forward direction and may be caused by foot stiffness in PD patients.
