Resisted ankle dorsiflexion

Resisted ankle dorsiflexion

1. Tie the ends of an exercise band together to form a loop. Attach one end of the loop to a secure object, like a table leg, or shut a door on it to hold it in place. (Or you can have someone hold one end of the loop to provide resistance.)
2. While sitting on the floor or in a chair, loop the other end of the band over the top of your affected foot.
3. Keeping your knee and leg straight, slowly flex your foot toward you to pull back on the exercise band, and then slowly relax.
4. Repeat 8 to 12 times.
