The intervention: early controlled motion of the ankle joint. The orthosis is removed with the patient sitting on the edge of a table with both legs hanging. Gravity bends the foot downward, whereupon the patient must actively flex the foot upwards to a horizontal position. This is done at least five times a day in series of 25 repetitions
