Extension and flexion of the ankle joint in the sitting position (right)

Individual work

When seated, the upper body is tilted slightly backwards, one foot (left) is placed on the floor, the training leg (right) is lifted off the floor (both lower legs are practically pointing vertically downwards). An elasticated rubber band is stretched between the legs by standing on one end of the band with the foot placed on the floor (fixation), the other end is placed around the instep of the raised leg. From this position, bend and stretch the foot of the training leg (right) (pull the tip of the foot towards the body and tilt it forwards in the direction of gaze).

Attetion:
The movement only takes place in the ankle joint (both legs and upper body remain stable).

Lighten:
Choose a rubber band with less resistance.

Harden:
Choose a rubber band with more resistance.
