Strengthening exercises

Participants in group A will be required to complete 12 sessions in 4 to 6 weeks. Resistance-Bands will be used to do ankle plantar flexion and eversion (3 sets of 10 repetitions). Participants will have to be seated on the floor with the knee extended and instructed to perform the movement at the ankle joint without allowing extraneous movement at hip and knee. The resistance band will be doubled and securely attached to the base of a table. The training resistance will be determined by calculating 70% of the resting length of the resistance band and adding this distance to the resting length of the resistance band. Using this calculated distance, the examiner will place a mark to which the resistance band will be stretched during exercise performance on the floor. Each week a study investigator will track each participant's completion. Participants will be instructed to move through their entire range of motion for the direction of each exercise.
