Toe Strength Declines Faster Than Grip Strength in Aging
The Ultimate Human
Dr. Courtney Conley: Dementia, 4,000 Steps, Big Toe & The 6th Vital Sign
What was said
"There was a great study in Japan and they looked at 1,400 workers at a Toyota facility and they looked at their toe strength versus their grip strength. Toe strength actually declines faster than grip strength."
Dr. Conley cited a Japanese study of 1,400 Toyota workers showing toe strength declines faster than grip strength with age and correlates with metabolic markers. Loss of toe strength significantly increases fall risk in older populations, yet toe strength is rarely assessed or trained despite being critical for balance and longevity.
