Nerve entrapment behind inner ankle knuckle – Step 4

Rehabilitation starts with the exercises in Step 1. When the exercises can be performed without pain, rehabilitation starts on the next step.

How often and for how long should I train? Training frequency and duration are individual. Start with about 3 repetitions per workout. exercise and at least 3 times a week. Slowly increase the number of repetitions and load without exceeding the pain threshold

Do I have to do the whole program every time? No, you can divide the exercises into different days. The most important thing is to exercise regularly and gradually increase the intensity

The time in minutes indicates the time distribution between stretching, balance and strength if you train for one hour.
Whether you train for one hour or 10 minutes, for example, is adapted to your starting point – and can be increased over time.

Condition

Unlimited: Cycling, swimming, running over increasing distances

Stretching

15 minutes of each training session

Stand with your arms resting against a wall and your working leg stretched out behind you so that you feel a stretch in your calf muscle. Slowly bend the knee of your working leg so that you feel an increasing stretch in your calf muscle. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other leg.

An exercise band is attached to a heavy chair leg. Sit on the floor with your leg stretched out, with the outside of your training foot aligned with the leg of the chair. Loop the exercise band around the front of your foot (on the inside). Slowly turn your foot inwards towards your other foot so that the band tightens. Hold the tension for a few seconds and move slowly the foot back to the starting position. Do not rotate the knee.

Stand on your left leg. Bend your right knee and grasp the little toe side of your right foot with your left hand. Slowly pull upwards so that the ankle is stretched as far as possible and the heel moves towards your buttock, bringing the foot behind your good leg so that you feel a gradual stretch along the outside of your shin. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise, alternating between your right and left legs.

Stand with a small spiked ball under your foot and run the ball around under the sole of your foot while pressing your foot against the ball.

Sid på en stol og læg anklen på det skadede ben over på modsatte knæ. Den ene hånd holder anklen, mens den anden hånd langsomt bøjer tæerne opad (hvorved der kan føles et stræk under foden). Hold spændingen i mindst 10 sekunder. Bøj derefter tæerne maksimalt nedad og hold udspændingen i 10 sekunder.

Kneel down and rest on your toes. Lower your bottom so that it presses against your lower leg, bending your toes as far as possible. Hold the position for at least 10 seconds. Lift your bottom and return to the starting position.

Place your foot on a stool. Then bend your knee and ankle as far as possible and bring your upper body down towards your thigh, so that the pressure on your knee and ankle increases. Hold the position for at least 10 seconds. Then straighten your body, extend your knee and ankle, and return to the starting position.

Lie on your back on the floor with your lower leg resting on a stool or chair. Let your foot hang freely. Move your foot up and down and from side to side.

Coordination

5 minutes of each training session

Hold balancen på to ben på vippebrættet. Støt i starten med hånden mod væggen. Senere holdes balancen på ét ben uden støtte. Prøv senere at holde balancen med lukkede øjne.

Stå på tæerne med bøjede knæ. Læg vægten frem på tåspidserne og hold  balancen. Støt i starten evt. med en hånd mod væggen.

“The Runner”. Stand on your training leg with your knee straight. Bend your body forwards at a 90-degree angle and lift your good leg straight backwards and the opposite arm straight forwards. Maintain your balance on the supporting leg for as long as possible. If necessary, use one hand to support yourself against the wall at the start. Once you feel confident, you can make the exercise more challenging by closing your eyes.

Strength

40 minutes of each training session

Sit on the floor with your leg stretched out. Place an exercise band around the ball of your foot (the sole of your foot) and hold the band in your hand. Slowly stretch your foot so that the band tightens. Hold the stretch for a few seconds and slowly return your foot to the starting position.

En træningselastik fæstes til et tungt stolben. Sid på gulvet med strakt ben med ansigt mod træningselastikken. Træningselastikken føres rundt om forfoden (fodryg). Bøj langsomt foden opad så elastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og før langsomt foden tilbage til udgangsposition.

En træningselastik fæstes til et tungt stolben. Sid på gulvet med strakt ben med indersiden af træningsfoden ud for stolbenet. Træningselastikken føres rundt om forfoden (ydersiden). Drej langsomt foden ud til siden, så elastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og før langsomt foden tilbage til udgangsposition. Knæet må ikke roteres.

En træningselastik fæstes til et tungt stolben. Sid på gulvet med strakt ben med ydersiden af træningsfoden ud for stolbenet. Træningselastikken føres rundt om forfoden (indersiden). Drej langsomt foden ind til siden mod den anden fod, så elastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og før langsomt foden tilbage til udgangsposition. Knæet må ikke roteres.

Stå på begge forfødder på et trappetrin med hælen ud over kanten. Rejs dig langsomt op på tæer med vægten på det raske ben. Sænk dig langsomt ned på træningsbenet, så langt du kan komme, så det strammer i lægmusklen. Brug det raske ben til at komme op på tæer igen. Støt evt. med en hånd på væggen. Øvelsen udføres skiftevis med strakt og bøjet knæ. Belastningen kan øges ved at tage en rygsæk på og efterhånden øge ballastningen i rygsækken. 

Stå på ét ben foran en væg. Støt evt. med hænderne på væggen. Gå langsomt op på tå. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og før langsomt foden tilbage til udgangsposition

Lie on your back with your legs stretched out. Place the elastic band around your feet. Slowly rotate your feet outwards as far as possible. Hold the position for a few seconds, then slowly bring your legs back together.

Lie on your back with your legs stretched out. Cross your lower legs. Tie an exercise band around the foot of the working leg. Place the sole of the other foot on the exercise band, right next to the foot of the working leg, which is turned as far away from the other foot as possible, so that the lateral ligaments and the exercise band are stretched to their maximum. Hold the stretch for a few seconds, then slowly bring your feet back together.
