Summary

This study tested whether strengthening a specific toe muscle (flexor hallucis longus) can improve balance, walking, and reduce falls in people over 65. Fifty-six participants were split into three groups: supervised exercise, home exercise, or no exercise. Researchers measured toe strength, balance, and gait before and after the program. The goal is to find a simple way to prevent falls in older adults.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

What this could lead to
If effective, this exercise program could help reduce fall risk and improve mobility in older adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 56 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and exercise adherence at home can vary.
