Specific exercises based on back foot segments with the white square (half ball shape) will improve ankle dorsiflexion range of motion. | # Enhance a better dorsiflexion (dorsal flexion): ankle dorsiflexion restrictions can hinder performance and lead to dysfunctional movement patterns.

=== FOR STABILIZED FEET === | |||
Man owes a lot to the foot. This organ has no less than 26 bones, 16 joints, 107 ligaments and 20 intrinsic muscles that allowed him to acquire standing, which reoriented its skull, eyes and mouth. The maintenance of standing could not have been done without this slow adaptation. If the foot had not evolved to the appearance, it has today, we would still live in trees or caves. | |||
It is estimated that 70 kilograms per square centimeter is the pressure exerted on the sole of the foot. When working out on the '''Ankle Foot Exerciser''', dissociated training allows to muscle the back foot and soliciting at the same time the front foot moderately and vice versa. | |||
==== Targeting specifically on front foot and back foot: ==== | |||
# Reinforce foot muscular tonicity, hence dynamize the foot motion fluidity (on walking on running), and avoid all loss of energy | |||
# Reduce foot pain from plantar fasciitis, Achilles' tendonitis, heel, arch pain. Effective stretching increase range of motion and flexibility which relieve the muscular and articular pains | |||
# Allow to cushion in a better way the transmission of the top-down and bottom-up forces | |||
# Improve both elasticity on reception and rigidity on propulsion | |||
# Give a better balance to the whole body | |||
=== RECOVERING FROM INJURY === | |||
Sprain of the external lateral ligament of the ankle is, without a doubt, the most common traumatic pathology. The sprain (infringement) of ankle, it is more than 24,000 cases per day in U.S.A. | |||
During improper support, the stabilizing muscles of the ankle and foot are not strong enough to prevent excessive twisting of the ankle. | |||
On a movement of plantar flexion, adduction, supination, stretching very strongly, the foot rocks inside, thus causing a tearing of the external lateral ligament. The foot goes into inversion, the spillers are stretched and do not contract fast enough to counter the lesion movement. The foot loses its ability to react. It therefore needs to: | |||
* Rest, ice, ankle elevation | |||
* Gently mobilize the joint (lymphatic drainage) to evacuate swelling, blood effusion | |||
* Re-education to return to a normal range of motion despite the hours spent in the splint. | |||

'''Ankle Foot Exercising''' leads to rapid recovery, the downtime after a sprain is greatly decreased. | |||
# Constitution of a solid scar thanks to the orientation of the fibers in the axis of the constraints, we speak of ''mechanization'' | |||
# Greater stimulation of the fibers (both nits and rapids) of spillers and inverters | |||
# Improvement of muscle typology with the development of fast fibers of type II | |||
# Improvement of reflex loops and thus allow a rapid and effective contraction | |||
# Optimum reinforcement of inverters that must be stronger than spillers to avoid sprained ankle | |||
