The joints, ligaments and muscles of the ankle and the foot are designed to provide stability and mobility in the terminal structures of the lower extremity.
During standing the foot must bear the body weight with minimum energy expenditure.
In addition, the foot must be capable of being either pliable or relatively rigid depending on various functional demands such as adapting to absorb forces and accommodate to uneven surfaces or becoming a structural lever to propel the body forward during running and walking.
At Asiya, we do a thorough examination of the feet with respect to its arches and its impact on the knee and the back.
We do a comprehensive ankle strength training programme followed by a stability and balance training programme which is a very essential part of ankle rehabilitation.
Our specialty also lies in the prescription of special insoles required in the shoes.
