“…In cases of floating toe, the force maintaining toe pressure weakens. This does not influence the static balance greatly, but it does influence the dynamic balance significantly, and it is also related to the length of stride and walking speed [2][3][4][5] .…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this research was to investigate the occurrence and mechanism of floating toe from the viewpoint of the structure of foot arch.[Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 65 adult females who had no history of orthopedic disease. Subjects stood on a pedoscope and we took images of the soles. According to a floatingtoe score which we created, we allocated subjects to a normal group and a floating-toe group using the obtained images. We measured the arch height percentage in the sitting position and standing position in the normal group and floatingtoe group and found the difference of arch height percentage (value obtained by subtracting the arch height percentage in the standing position from that in the sitting position). Results of the measurements were compared between the two groups.[Results] Among 65 cases, 23 were allocated to the normal group and 18 were allocated to the floating-toe group. There was no significant difference between the two groups for the arch height percentage in the sitting and standing positions. The difference of arch height percentage in the floating-toe group was significantly smaller.[Conclusion] We presume that there are two types of foot -the type in which the arch rises and the type in which the arch lowers in the floating toe, and lifestyle, footwear and other factors are involved.

“…Copyright © 2018 The Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine al., [10][11][12][13][14] there is significant correlation between the reaching distance of the arm and the toe grip strength in forward reaching movements. Schlenstedt et al 15) reported that the distance of the COP shift in the front-back direction decreased significantly after single-leg balance exercise.…”

“…Correlation has been observed between the forward reaching distance of the arm and the toe grip strength. [10][11][12][13][14] In RB-T, which requires posture control on a single leg to avoid falling, it is necessary to reach out the arm and the leg while always controlling the COP position within the base of support of the foot. It is considered that repeatedly performing this motion is effective for improving the neurogenic muscle strength of toe flexors.…”

“…In addition, Handa et al 1) , who studied static balance, and Kabe et al 2) , who studied dynamic balance, reported that the strengthening of the toes may improve walking ability and decrease the risk of falling. We also believe that toe strengthening is important for maintaining balance and preventing falls, and proper footwear may promote toe strengthening.…”

The Kinesiological Effect of Japanese Geta Clogs on Gait: A Pilot Study

et al. 2007

Abstract. The purpose of this study was to investigate the function of Japanese Geta clogs. We measured the foot pressure and the distance between the Geta and the heel. An F-scan and three-dimensional motion analyses were done. Toe pressure increased in the stance phase at toe-off, and we confirmed that heel-Geta contact is present at the beginning of swing phase. The distance between the Geta and the heel increased from heel-off to toe-off and decreased from toe-off to mid-swing. The results suggest that active toe movement occurs during Geta gait, and the use of Geta clogs may contribute to preventing foot disorders and falls. Geta may be useful for foot and toe strengthening.
