What is Understanding Foot Drop and Gait about?
Foot drop is a symptom where the front of the foot cannot be lifted due to an underlying neurological, muscular or anatomical issue. It is most commonly caused by nerve injury which can occur during hip or knee surgeries. Treatments depend on the cause but may include exercises to strengthen muscles, ankle foot orthotics to support the foot, electrical stimulation of the peroneal nerve, or surgery. The goal is to restore a normal gait; management must be tailored to each individual patient
