The Trampoline | Physiotherapy exercises ankle joint

The Trampoline

The surrounding muscles of the ankle joint are functionally well strengthened on the trampoline due to the prevailing instability.

  1. Stand on the trampoline hip-wide and squat down several times. Make sure that the knees do not point over the tips of the feet.
  2. Marching up and down on the spot, varying and increasing speed.
  3. Jumping up and down, two-legged and one-legged
  4. The physiotherapist passes a ball or something similar during the various exercises

Calf exercises

The patient sits leaning against a wall, knees and hips bent at right angles and hands resting on the thighs. The feet have contact with the floor only with the heel. From this position, the patient should lead the toes to the floor and then return to the starting position.

10 to 14 repetitions. The patient is slightly bent in the one-legged stand and should push himself over the foot, high into the stand. An improvement can be to bring the foot into tip-toe position and then to push himself up.
