The elderly tend to develop a disuse syndrome due to a reduced amount of activity. If walking is difficult, it may become bedridden in the future. Here, a foot bath was considered to have potential in improving balance and muscle strength in the lower extremities. The method of study was as follows. Foot bath was provided to the elderly in a hospital for the period of 6 weeks. Strength in the toes, grip and the value of sole load were measured before and after the period of foot bath. The elderly were divided into two groups, firstly independent group who could stand on their own and the support group who required an aid to stand up with. Then, the both groups are compared. We found that the independent group had increased toe strength and grip and improved the load balance after the foot bath. This indicated that a foot bath would help the elderly who have the ability to stand on their own to improve balance and muscle strength.

由于运动量减少，老年人往往会患上废用性综合症。如果行走困难，将来可能会卧床不起。在这里，足浴被认为有可能改善腿部的平衡和肌肉力量。研究方法如下。在医院为老年人提供足浴，为期6周。分别于足浴前后测定足趾力量、握力和足底负荷值。老年人被分成两组，第一组是能够独立站起来的独立组，另一组是需要帮助才能站起来的支持组。然后，对两组进行比较。我们发现，独立组在足浴后增加了脚趾力量和抓地力，改善了负载平衡。这表明，足浴有助于有能力独立站立的老年人提高平衡和肌肉力量。
