Foot & Ankle ROM





Protocol:
3 Stretches are done daily for :30-:60seconds each (held until there is no more "stretch" felt in the maximum stretched position). Sretch1 is done using a board with surgical tubing or duck tape to stretch the ankle and the foot in a straight position. Stretch2 is done by standing on the TOP of the feet with big toes touching in the middle in a sickled position attempting to lay the outside edge of the feet flat on the ground. Stretch3 is done by reaching under the leg with opposite arm and puling the foot outward in a levering position to rotate the foot outward as far as possible.
1) foot parallel to leg

2) sickled foot
