Problem
Jane is a 17-year-old netballer who rolls her ankle inwards whilst playing a game of netball. She experiences a moderate amount of pain and swelling and is unable to continue playing. She sees a health professional who diagnoses a grade 2 ankle inversion injury.
Briefly describe a safe open kinetic chain exercise you could use to strengthen the muscles in the lateral compartment of the leg. Describe the initial starting position you would place the ankle joint into to perform this exercise and the reason for using this position.
