Abstract
In this study we measured and compared foot-gripping strength and one-leg standing duration time of 14 elderly people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and 14 healthy elderly people, and investigated whether or not OA affected them. The results showed a significant positive correlation in both OA and healthy people of foot-gripping strength with one-leg standing duration time. Besides, in a comparison of the OA group and healthy group, we confirmed the in foot-gripping strength, foot-gripping strength per kg of body weight and one-leg standing duration, all showing significantly lower values in the OA group. From these results, the foot-gripping test and one-leg standing duration are related irrespective of OA. We also suggest that the risk of fall may increase due to decline of foot-gripping strength in the elderly with OA.<br>
