Another thing I suggest that my clients to do, besides what is listed above, is to draw the alphabet with their foot while sitting watching tv, in a meeting or waiting in traffic. They can also do towel exercises (with a bare foot, pick up a towel with your toes, pull your foot back toward you, drop the towel and start again).

Also, if the person is starting a running or walking program, be sure they are getting rest days and cross training (cycling is a great cross-trainer).

I like to use resistance bands as well, I put my clients through a variety of exercise, some are Standing Ankle Dorisflexion Stretch, Bent Knee Calf Wall Stretch and Bent Knee Ankle Dorsiflexion and Calf Stretch.

And I use elastic bands as the resistance. Tie the band to a stable object on the floor, such as dining room table leg, wrap the band on the top on the toes and lift or dorsiflex.

I use that same exercise Karin. But I put a folded towel on the foot and hang a grocery bag (doubled) of soup cans from it.

One more thing to add to Janet’s answer: I do exercises specifically for the Tibialis Anterior by wrapping ankle weights around the front of the foot. I ask the person to sit and place their heels on a small box; I then instruct them to pull their toes towards their knees.
