| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to verify the effect to improvement of the toe function in the elderly person by whom foot care is carried out as nursing treatment for the posture maintenance function.
In the elderly persons using a nursing home, the state of the foot which needs foot care was the onchomycosis which mainly became thick, and preferential care was nail shaving. Almost all elderly persons' foot had a certain pathological change, and foot care was in the required state. Furthermore, many of elderly persons needed the care to activities of daily living. When the foot care for 12 months was carried out to the elderly person using a nursing home, there were a few elderly persons whom the SCIO score has improved as of three months. However, as of 12 months, although some elderly person's SCIO score has improved, some other elderly person got worse. The relation with change of a foot state was able to be checked in neither a posture nor an activity function.
