Foot Drop
1 2
Foot Drop
The type of treatment is dependent upon the cause of the drop foot. If the cause is due to compression of the peroneal nerve, surgery may be required to decompress the nerve and allow for recovery. Some patients may be fitted with an Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) to assist them in walking and help prevent tripping. Foot and ankle strength training and gait training is often implemented as part of a physical rehabilitative approach. In some cases, foot drop occurs secondary to more than one cause. In this case the treatment approach should address each cause and improve recovery.
