The Anklemate™ Dorsiflexion Apparatus
The AnklemateTM is a safe, practical, easy-to-use, portable Dorsiflexion Apparatus. This is used when exercising the ankle, in exercises such as dorsiflexion, inversion and eversion.

The apparatus consists of two polished wooden boards, each containing a channel (into which standard chair legs fit) plus 2 pairs of round wooden pegs, around which resistive elastic bands are fitted. The length of channel plus the choice of which pair of pegs to use allows the apparatus to be used for either leg and for people of varying heights/leg lengths/abilities.

As well as physical injuries after e.g. falling, conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, Strokes and Multiple Sclerosis also significantly impair walking. Ankle and leg strengthening is a vital part of rehabilitation. At present, there is no simple equipment specifically designed to exercise the flexor muscles, rather than the pointer muscles, on the market.
