Ask a PT Response: "After any period of immobilization at any joint, range of motion exercises and strethcing are usually recommended to assist with restoring function at the joint. Check with your doctor to get the OK for beginning range of motion and stretching exercises and possible participation in physical therapy. For my patients who have immobility issues at the toe(s) I have had them work on some exercises such as toe curls with a towel on the ground, sitting heel/toe raises, toe pick up of towel, toe curls AROM, PROM toe flex/extension, etc. I would progress to more exercises in weight bearing as my patient progresses. Good luck!"
