Description

You are seated, with the leg to be exercised extended in front of you, the foot in a neutral position (toes towards the ceiling), and the sole of the foot supported on a flat surface. You will compress the surface under your foot by bringing your toes forward to perform a plantar flexion (extension) of the ankle, and you hold the position. You then return to the starting position.
