Abstract
Abstract: Foot muscle weakness is a common accompaniment of advancing age and has important functional consequences. However, the merit of foot muscle strengthening programs is yet to be fully demonstrated. The review explores the effect of aging on foot muscle strength and its implications, whether foot muscles can be strengthened, and how foot muscle strength can be measured in the clinical setting.
