Resisted Ankle Dorsiflexion

Instructions

01

Take a resistance band and tie its ends together to form a loop. Anchor one end of the loop to a secure object or shut a door on it. You can also have someone grasp one end of the loop to create resistance.

02

Sit on the floor or in a chair.

03

Wrap the other end of the band over your affected forefoot.

04

Keeping your leg straight, gently pull on the exercise band with your foot so your toes point towards the ceiling (known as dorsiflexion).

05

Then, slowly relax.

06

Repeat 8 to 12 times.
