Abstract: An ankle exercise device having a lower leg section receiving a calf portion of a lower leg of a user and a foot section receiving a foot of the user. The lower leg section is rotatably connected near the heel end of the foot section. A rigid control rod has one end connectable to the foot section and an opposite end held by the user. Thus, as the user successively pushes and pulls the control rod, the foot section is pivoted with respect to the lower leg section, thereby exercising the ankle-foot complex.
