Abduction and adduction of the ankle joint in the sitting position

Individual work

In the seated position, the upper body is tilted slightly backwards, both feet are lifted off the floor and the slightly bent legs are pointing diagonally forwards. Stretch an elasticated band between the legs (place the band around the instep/soles of the feet). From this position, rotate the ankles so that the feet point towards each other (big toes together) and away from each other (toes pointing diagonally upwards away from the body).

Attention:
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 greater resistance.

1 mini-band
1 seating option (e.g. chair, plyo box or vaulting box)
