3-dimensional foot-ankle extension exercises

In three-dimensional foot-ankle extension exercises, an elastic band will be used to create resistance to the movement and the intensity/severity of the exercise will be between 13 (somewhat difficult) and 15 (difficult) according to the perceived difficulty level on the Borg scale. Exercises will begin with red (light) tape; Progression will be achieved by moving to a higher level band color \[green (medium) and blue (difficult) in that order\] every two weeks. Exercises will be performed 3 days a week (2 days supervised, 1 day at home), in 3 sets of 10 repetitions, and a 1-minute rest period will be given between sets to reduce fatigue. Short-foot exercises will be performed in 3 sets of 15 repetitions, with a 45-second rest period between sets, every day a week (2 days/week with a physiotherapist; 5 days/week at home) for 6 weeks.

Clam exercise

In three-dimensional foot-ankle extension exercises and clam exercise, an elastic band will be used to create resistance to the movement and the intensity/severity of the exercise will be between 13 (somewhat difficult) and 15 (difficult) according to the perceived difficulty level on the Borg scale. Exercises will begin with red (light) tape; Progression will be achieved by moving to a higher level band color \[green (medium) and blue (difficult) in that order\] every two weeks. Exercises will be performed 3 days a week (2 days supervised, 1 day at home), in 3 sets of 10 repetitions, and a 1-minute rest period will be given between sets to reduce fatigue. Short-foot exercises will be performed in 3 sets of 15 repetitions, with a 45-second rest period between sets, every day a week (2 days/week with a physiotherapist; 5 days/week at home) for 6 weeks.
