Starting from the preparation position, at the restriction barrier, the patient is asked to exert a small effort (no more than 20% of available strength) towards plantarflexion, against unyielding resistance, with appropriate breathing. The patient produces isometric effort contracts either gastrocnemius or soleus (depending on whether the knee is unflexed or flexed). This contraction is held for 7-10 seconds together with a held breath. The exercise was repeated until the full range of movement was obtained.
