Most ankle rehab programs focus on balance and proprioception. These are without a doubt important components of early ankle rehab because the ankle needs to adapt and respond to perturbation.

However, where most rehab programs fall short is progressing to advanced ankle rehab strengthening.

Injuries to the lateral ligaments of the ankle, or inversion sprains, are the most common, but high ankle sprains are more common in sports than has been realized in the past (1).

These occur via forceful external rotation of the ankle (or forceful dorsiflexion), but they can also occur along with an inversion ankle sprain (2).

Understanding these mechanisms of injury is important for advanced ankle rehab exercises. We need to work beyond foot exercises, tubing exercises and calf raises.

Again, these ARE important in the early ankle rehab phases, but do not translate to the actual complex function of the foot and ankle in the dynamic sports environment.

Rather, what I will be discussing in this article is advanced ankle rehab strengthening to restore the very important functional demand of the foot and ankle for accepting and absorbing external forces to ensure a return to performance.

ANKLE REHAB STRENGTHENING: IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
Walking, running, landing, cutting, etc. are complex activities that essentially rely on the foot and ankle’s capacity for absorption, propulsion and stability. According to Prentice (1), these activities involve “several determinants based on pelvic, hip, knee, and foot/ankle motions”.
The lower extremity functions as a kinetic chain to absorb, distribute and transfer ground reaction forces. The foot, ankle, knee and hip need mobility to meet the demands of absorption and propulsion.
But,

stability is required to limit motion and switch back and forth between absorption and propulsion

This can become excessive and/or irritable.
What we need to do is create that fine balance where not only does the athlete have enough hip rotation to get into the position but also enough strength to control that rotation.
