[目的]比较帕金森氏病(Parkinsonʼ)S病(PD)患者的优势足趾握力，探讨其与足部柔韧性及足弓高度比的关系。[对象和方法]研究对象为10例生活在家中的2期和3期PD患者。测量优势足和非优势足的脚趾握力、屈趾能力和足弓高度比。[结果]优势足与非优势足的足趾握力比较，差异无统计学意义。优势足的脚趾握力与脚趾卷曲能力呈正相关，而非优势足则未观察到这种关联。[结论]优势足的脚趾握力是被认可的，且优势足的脚趾握力与足部柔韧性之间存在相关关系。
: [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the toe grip strength of the dominant foot and to investigate association between toe grip strength and foot flexibility or foot-arch height ratio in patients with stage 2 and 3 (Hoehn&Yahr) Parkinsonʼs 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, toe curl ability, and foot-arch height ratios of the dominant and non-dominant feet were measured. [Re-sults] The comparison of the toe grip strength of dominant and non-dominant feet re-vealed no significant differences. A positive correlation was observed between the toe grip strength and toe curl ability of the dominant foot; however, no such association was observed for the non-dominant foot. [Conclusion] our results indicate that the toe grip strength of the dominant foot is recognized, and that the toe grip strength and foot flexibility of the dominant foot are associated.
