Mobility
Muscles associated with the lower leg are the soleus, tibialis posterior, and tibialis anterior. The soleus is important when aiding stability to the knee and ankle. Motions that are involved, especially in the ankle, includes plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, supination, and pronation.

Strengthening Exercises
In the lower leg, specifically the tibialis anterior will cause ankle weakness if there is discomfort in the muscle. To strengthen the tibialis anterior, use the wall to provide balance for the body. Cross the leg over the other leg and bend the toes with the posterior portion of the foot to the ground. Let the foot stretch as it bends and repeat again with the other foot.

Pain Prevention
In order to prevent discomfort to the extensor digitorum, extensor halluces, or the foot as a whole, wearing shoe insoles will provide comfort to the feet. Shoe insoles will provide comfort to the lower leg as well.
