Correlation Between Functional Ability and Great Toe Flexor Strength in Young Adults

Abstract Background: Functional ability refers to the capacity to perform daily tasks efficiently, which relies on maintaining balance and stability. Balance is essential for keeping the body’s center of gravity aligned over a stable base and is supported by the coordination of the vestibular, visual, proprioceptive, and musculoskeletal systems. Factors such as proprioception, muscle strength, and lower extremity range of motion significantly impact functional ability. Toe flexor muscles play a vital role in providing the necessary force for anterior-posterior stability, especially when leaning forward, and contribute to the proprioceptive feedback loop that is essential for maintaining balance.
Objective: To find correlation between functional ability and great toe flexor strength in young adults.
Methodology: 12 male and female young adults with normal BMI were selected for the study. functional ability was measured using Functional Reach Test, great toe flexor strength was assessed using Pinch Guage Dynamometer. Karl Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient was used for statistical analysis, with a p value < 0.05 considered as significant.
Result: Statistically significant strong correlation was found between Functional Reach Test score and great toe flexor strength ( r = 0.887, p=0.035) suggesting that higher the great toe flexion strength higher the functional ability score.
Conclusion: This study conluded that an increase in great toe flexor strength is associated With Improved Functional Ability In Young Adults.
