Shared with consent ✅

What initial exercises would you give a patient who was reporting ‘weak ankles’ and most importantly, why?

Thread…🧵🪡
1/8
Female dancer in 8 shows a week. Ankles feel ‘tired’ & ‘achy’ by end of day. No specific pain. Requested exercises to help 🙌🏼

Hx of ankle sprains
Very mobile ST joints
Poor functional endurance IV/EV
⬇️ balance: hip airplane
SLHR: 11 - VERY low
Overuses FDL for SLHR: clawing
2/8
Dancers often resist IV/EV isometrically without issues but when you ask them to use the foot in a more functional way they struggle. Use this exercise as an assessment - any shaking or difficulty maintaining a neutral position = a sign they should include it in their HEP👇🏼 3/8
