TRAINING LADDER FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS:
FOR INFLAMMATION OF THE HOLLOW FOOT TENDON
(FASCIITIS PLANTARIS)

STEP 1

The majority of young patients can manage with relief until the pain subsides, following which the sports activity can be slowly resumed. The following rehabilitation program will cover the needs for the vast majority of children with inflammation of the hollow foot tendon. Older teenagers involved in sports at a high level can advantageously use the rehabilitation program for adults.

Unlimited: Cycling. Swimming.

(5 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.

(5 min)


Stand with both forefeet on a stool or doorstep with the heel out over the edge. Slowly rise up on to your toes with your weight on the healthy leg. Go slowly down on the injured leg as far as you can go. Use the healthy leg to rise up on to your toes again. The exercise should be performed with stretched, as well as bent knee. Wearing a rucksack and gradually increasing the ballast in the rucksack can increase the load.

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.
