Strength exercise for ankle and foot, trains balance in ankle, foot and knee.

Problemstilling

Everyone needs to practice balance, and it often gets worse with age. A good balance is important for prevention overstep, and improve the stability of the ankle.

Guide

Stand on the cushion so that the center is in the middle between the legs. Challenge your balance continuously by moving your gaze, turning around head or close your eyes. The exercise is great to do, for example, while brushing your teeth. Stand on the pillow for 2-3 minutes, 2 times daily. If you find it too difficult to keep your balance on the cushion shown in the video, and want to grade the exercise then you can vary between these steps:

  1. Stand on one leg on the floor
  2. Stand on one leg on a yoga mat
  3. Stand on one leg on an airex mat
  4. Stand on balance cushion

We think balance pads are the best tool for the ankle, compared to balance boards that are completely flat the ankle, where the balance challenge comes further up towards the knees and hips, and not so much the foot and ankle.
