| Context |
Strengthening exercises can be done with something as simple as a wall or a floor with which the athlete can perform isometric exercises in plantar- and dorsiflexion that do not endanger the ligaments. As the athlete progresses into isotonic exercises, it is recommended that the athlete begin with some rubber tubing (Theraband), working in inversion, eversion, and plantar- and dorsiflexion (Fig. 5)
