Simple ankle exercises improve balance

The ankle is a hinge-type joint that helps support the body when shifting body weight, walking and jumping. Movement at the ankle includes plantar flexion, when the toes move away from the leg (when pushing on the gas pedal in a car or pushing off from the toes when walking) and dorsiflexion, when the toes raise towards the leg (when walking and the heel strikes the ground first).
