Once your
ankle is up to it, you can move to this next, more strenuous stage
of exercises.
As with
the previous stage, you should:
- Ice
before and after exercising.
- Progress
to the next level only when there is no pain.
- All
exercises should be done on a flat surface without the use of
the Active Ankle until progressing past the jogging phase when
the Active Ankle should be worn as a protective measure.
- Duration:
5-10 minutes, 3-4 times a day.
- Exercise:
- Walking
in small, straight steps.
- Walking
in large, straight steps.
- Walking
around things, or a "lazy S."
If you are
an athlete, perform the following exercises after the previous ones
can be completed pain free.
- Jogging
straight ahead.
- Jogging
in a "lazy S" or "figure 8" pattern.
- Jogging
in a "sharp Z" pattern.
- Sprint
5-10 yards first starting and stopping slowly, then starting
and stopping quickly.
You should
continue to wear your Active Ankle while you're active in order to
prevent reinjury.
