Band Ankle Dorsiflexion Strengthening
Band ankle dorsiflexion strengthening trains shin muscles to lift toes against resistance—reducing trip risk when paired with calf work and balance practice.
Band ankle dorsiflexion strengthening anchors a loop band on the forefoot and pulls the toes toward the shin against resistance—training shin muscles that clear toes during swing phase and reduce trip risk on small obstacles. Seniors perform seated or standing with hand support; two sets of twelve to fifteen controlled reps beat fast pumping.
Pair with calf raises for balance around the ankle.
