Make believe your big toe is a pencil and sketch out the alphabet. These muscle movements will help build foot and ankle strength, which aids balance and helps prevents falls.
- Moving only your ankle and foot, “write” each letter of the alphabet from A to Z.
- Keep your leg straight.
- Do not bend your knee or hip.
- The letters will start out small and get larger as your ankle motion improves.
