Abstract
Foot and ankle injuries are extremely common among athletes and other physically active people. Rehabilitation programs that emphasize the use of therapeutic exercises to restore joint range of motion, muscle strength, neuromuscular coordination, and gait mechanics have shown clinical success in patients suffering from a variety of foot and ankle pathologies. Rehabilitation programs for ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and peat toe are discussed. Injuries to the ankle joint also occur in everyday household activities. Not to mention sports - a fifth of all injuries are associated with the ankle. Given the fact that the ankle joint is involved in walking and running, such injuries should be taken very seriously. Especially in cases where a sports career is an important part of your life.
