CLIENT WITH FUSED ANKLE

I have a personal training client that has had his L ankle fused about 5

years ago as a result of a horrific fall. Not only did he break his ankle,

he also suffered a compound fracture of his tibia & fibula (reset 10+ times)

& his L leg is now ~28mm shorter than his R. He obviously has very limited

ROM in the joint; approximately 5 degrees. As a result he has a

significant imbalance (both strength & size) between his L & R calves.

Just wondering if anyone on the list has had any experience & /or advice on

training a client with such an injury?

Cheers
