Training ladder for: CHRONIC COMPARTMENT SYNDROME IN THE LOWER LEG (KRONISK KOMPARTMENSYNDROM)
STEP 4
Increases in training intensity (Step I – Step II – Step III – Step IV) must occur very slowly, to ensure that the muscle membranes have the opportunity to give way or yield.
Unlimited: Cycling. Swimming. Running with increasing speed and distance.
(15 min)
Stand with the injured leg stretched backwards with the toes facing front. Slowly bend the knee so that the calf muscles become increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.
Stand with the injured leg outstretched with the ankle joint bent up against the wall. Press your abdomen against the wall so that the calf muscles become increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.
Stand on the good leg while gaining support on the wall with the hand on the same side. Bend the knee of the injured leg and draw the heel towards the buttocks. Take hold of the big toe side of the foot and draw slowly upwards so that the ankle joint is stretched to the maximum and drawn slightly outwards so that increased stretching is experienced on the inside of the shin bone. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.
Stand on the good leg while gaining support from the wall with the opposite hand. Bend the knee of the injured leg and draw the heel towards the buttocks. Take hold of the little toe side of the foot and draw slowly upwards so that the ankle joint is stretched to the maximum and drawn over the good leg so that increased stretching is experienced on the outer side of the shin bone. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.
(5 min)
Stand on the leg to be trained. Take-off and land on the same leg.
Seesaw. Balance on two legs, possibly using a hand as support against the wall, balancing subsequently on one leg without support. Look straight ahead and keep knees bent.
(40 min)
Sit on the floor. Tip the foot up and down with elastic under the forefoot so that the elastic becomes taut.
Sit on the floor. Tip the foot up and down with elastic on top of the forefoot so that the elastic becomes taut.
Sit on the floor. Tip the foot from side to side with elastic on the outer side of the foot, without moving the knee.
Sit on the floor. Tip the foot from side to side with elastic on the inner side of the foot, without moving the knee.
Stand on a soft surface. Rise slowly up on tiptoe and go down again.
Go up and down from the stool. Go up with alternating right and left legs.
Stand on the healthy leg with elastic fixed around the hip. The elastic should be fixed to the wall or a wall bar. Take-off on the healthy leg and land on the leg to be trained and keep your balance. Remember that the elastic should be positioned so that it gives resistance at the moment of take-off. Change legs.
Stand with both legs on the stool with elastic around the hip. Take-off and land with feet together.
Stand with feet together. Using the ankle joint to take off, hop approx. 5 cm and land on both feet. The exercise should be done on one leg when you are able to do it without discomfort using both legs.
Stretching is carried out in the following way: stretch the muscle group for 3-5 seconds. Relax for 3-5 seconds. The muscle group should subsequently be stretched for 20 seconds. The muscle is allowed to be tender, but must not hurt. Relax for 20 seconds, after which the procedure can be repeated. The time consumed for stretching, coordination and strength training can be altered depending on the training opportunities available and individual requirements.
