【抄録】
・The purpose of this study is to examine whether performing Towel Toe-Curls during daily activities while sitting on a chair is effective in preventing falls. 
・Out of 142 healthy older adults (mean age 74.6±4.5 years) who did not qualify for long-term care certification, 80 with floating toes were assigned to the floating toe group, and the other 62 were assigned to the ground contact group.
・Furthermore, both groups were randomly divided into exercise and control groups. The exercise group performed Towel Toe-Curls for one year, whereas the control group did not. Exercise groups of both the floating toe and ground contact groups showed an increase in pressure in each toe and foot arch ratio; we also observed a significant improvement in reach distance of the Functional Reach Test and an adjusted center of gravity. 
・These results suggest that Towel Toe-Curl is effective in preventing falls
