What is Foot Drop?
Foot Drop is a gait abnormality characterized by muscle weakness or nerve damage that causes paralysis of the lower anterior of the foot. Foot Drop can make it difficult to lift the front part of the foot – an action required for taking a basic step. With Foot Drop, the foot hangs loose with the toes pointing down, which can cause the foot to drag when attempting to walk normally.
For some, Foot Drop may lead to an abnormal high-step, called steppage gait. Steppage gait occurs when an individual must lift the leg higher to prevent their foot from dragging while walking.
