Resisted ankle plantar flexion
- Sit with your affected leg straight and resting on the floor.
- Place an exercise band around your affected foot just under the toes.
- Hold each end of the band in each hand, with your hands above your knees.
- Keeping your affected leg straight, gently flex your foot downward so your toes are pointed away from your body. Then slowly relax your foot to the starting position.
- Repeat 8 to 12 times.
- It's a good idea to repeat these steps with your other leg.
