| Research Abstract |
The strength level of lower limbs is considered to be related to the fall accidents of elderly people. We developed a dynamometer for measuring foot grip strength and about 300 male and female subjects were measured with a questionnaire on the experience of fall accident and activity of daily life. The results showed that the foot grip strength related to the physical activity in daily life. Then 40 male and female subjects were measured foot grip strength with the measurement of the area that one can move the center of gravity in standing position. From the result that the foot grip strength was related to the area of moved center of gravity、it was suggested that the foot grip strength was related to the prevention of fall accidents.
