At the beginning of the third week of your recovery, you should be able to do some assisted range of motion exercises. This exercise is done by grabbing the big toe joint and flexing the toe up until it you feel some discomfort. Hold the toe in this position for ten seconds, slowly release the toe and then repeat two more times. The second exercise requires you to flex the toe downward, still grasping the big toe joint. Hold the toe in this downward position for ten seconds, slowly release the toe and then repeat two more times. These exercises should be done three times a day through the fourth week of recovery. Beginning in the fifth week, increase the frequency of each exercise to six times a day and also begin to pull the toe farther up and downward as tolerated. This helps increase the range of motion in the big toe joint.
