【目的】本研究的目的是探讨住在家里的2期和3期（Hoehn & Yahr）帕金森病（PD）患者脚趾握力与步态功能或平衡功能的关系。【对象与方法】研究对象为10例居住在家中的2期和3期PD （Hoehn & Yahr）患者。测量脚趾握力、最大步态速度、首选步态速度、功能到达测试得分、单腿站立时间和定时起身测试得分。采用spearman等级相关系数对趾抓力与各测量项目的关系进行统计分析。[结果]脚掌握力与功能够远测试呈显著正相关；然而，在其他测量项目中没有观察到这种关联。[结论]提示2期和3期PD患者的脚趾握力可能表现为静态平衡。
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate association between toe grip strength and gait function or balance function in patients with stage 2 and 3 (Hoehn & Yahr) Parkinson’s disease (PD) who live at home. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 10 patients with stages 2 and 3 PD (Hoehn & Yahr) who lived at home. Toe grip strength, maximal gait speed, preferred gait speed, functional reach test score, one-leg standing time, and timed up-and-go test score were measured. Relationships between toe grip strength and these measurement items were statistically analyzed using spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. [Results] A positive correlation was observed between toe grip strength and functional reach test; however, no such association was observed for the other measurement items. [Conclusion] These results suggest that toe grip strength may reflected with static balance in patients with stage 2 and 3 PD.
