Exercise for fractured ankle?

Question

I fractured my ankle nearly 3 weeks ago, is there any exercise I can do whilst in a cast? Also once I get the cast off, what are the best exercises for it to regain strength as quickly as possible?

Answer 1

while you are still in the cast i wouldn't move it...because the cast is helping it to re-set and moving your ankle could cause the bones to grow back the wrong way and this causes problems...so try and not move it while still in the cast, when you get out of the cast your best bet is physical therapy because they are trained and know which exercises to do and when, i wouldn't recommend you trying exercises yourself without the direction of a therapist because you could damage your ankle permanently..
