Mobilization in Dorsiflexion

Description

From a standing position, place the foot to be mobilized on an inclined surface to induce initial dorsiflexion. Gradually shift your weight forward, in line with the knee, exerting pressure to achieve maximum dorsiflexion. Make sure your heel remains in contact with the inclined surface. Then release the pressure on the knee to allow active dorsiflexion of the ankle before repeating the movement. To intensify the exercise, a weight can be placed on the knee to accentuate passive dorsiflexion.
