Resisted Dorsiflexion
Technique:
• Using a rehabilitation band pull the foot and toes up against resistance and then down again
• This is an important strengthening exercise; however it is important not to over do it
• Remember you will still have to walk on the ankle after the strengthen session so do not take the ankle to fatigue
• Over time this may also lead to pain in the front of the shin - less is probably more with this exercise
How Often?
Aim for 10 to 20 repetitions and 3 sets with a short rest in between, twice daily
