Mr W is currently around 3 months post right ankle surgery after sustaining a distal tibiofibular fracture from falling off the rooftop during work. He was presented to the clinic with limping gait, reduced weight bearing on the right, reduced lower limb strength and balance. He is unable to work at the moment and is receiving rehabilitation in our clinic including ultrasound, joint mobilisation and exercise therapy. ROM, stretching, strengthening and balance exercises were given to the patient and he is educated to follow the home exercise program in order to improve his mobility. The patient is compliant to the exercise program prescribed and his gait, strength and balance are gradually improving to return to his work in a few weeks time. The exercises included for home exercises encompass the following:

Knee to wall stretch
Sidelying hip flexor, quadriceps and tibialis anterior stretch
Sit to stand
Step up and down
Backward lunges
Double leg calf raises
Tandem/single leg balance
Glute bridges
