Here’s a quick test for calf & ankle function: the Weight-bearing plantarflexion test. 🦵📏
To perform this test simply raise up on your tip toes 👣 as high as you can, switch your weight to one leg 🦵 & measure the height of the heel to the ground. Then compare it to the other leg. The target here is 90% symmetry between legs.⚖️
In this runner 🏃♀️ you can see when performing on her left side she drops down ⬇️ & also rolls onto the outside of her foot, & measures 8.5cm versus 10cm on her right side.
To improve this, in addition to your standard calf strengthening exercises, you could incorporate some end-range strengthening which could include:
👣Toe walks
🐧Penguin Marches
🏋️♂️👣Weighted toe walks
Runners, test this out & let us know how you go! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
