A simple method is desired that can evaluate the physical functions of the aged against fall. This paper proposes a toe-gap force measurement as an evaluation of the lower limb muscular power for this purpose. This paper focuses on the effect of falling prevention such as muscular strength of lower limbs and postural stability through care of abnormal feet and nails as medical foot care. Lower limb functions are evaluated in terms of toe-gap force and single-foot standing period. Toe-gap force seems to be increased by a factor of 1.2 by medical foot care. Postural stability is increased by a factor of 1.3 in terms of single-foot standing period. It is suggested that the effect of falling prevention of the elderly increases as muscular strength of lower limbs and postural stability is increased through medical foot care.
