“…The OFS and FR tests are commonly used to monitor physical limb function and can identify risk for falling in elderly people 10–13 . The TGF test measures the force of the clipping action with the great and second toes 14 . The results reflect the movement by which the forefoot makes contact with the surface of the ground at each step and thus the TGF test is useful for simply and quantitatively assessing the dexterity of the forefoot and the general muscular power of the lower limbs.…”

“…The TGF test developed by Yamashita et al. 14 is used to quantify the muscular strength of the lower limbs. The device measures the strength of grasping with the great and second toes (clipping force) in a sitting position with the knees bent to 90° (Fig.…”

“…In this study, a toe-gap force measurement device ( Fig. 1) was used to evaluate muscle strength under the knee, including total plantar area [16]. The clipping toe-gap force was measured between the great toe and the digitus secundus.…”
