DROP FOOT
THE GOAL OF MANUAL THERAPY IS TO RELAX TENSE MUSCLES AND RESTRICTED JOINTS IN AN EFFORT TO DECREASE PAIN AND IMPROVE RANGE OF MOTION.
Foot drop, sometimes called drop foot, is a general term for difficulty lifting the front part of the foot. If you have foot drop, the front of your foot might drag on the ground when you walk. Foot drop isn’t a disease. Rather, foot drop is a sign of muscular or anatomical problem
SYMPTOMS:
People who have foot drop may drag their toes when they walk. They may also have to lift their knees higher than usual to avoid dragging their toes. Other symptoms include muscle weakness and “tingling” feelings in the leg.
Foot drop can happen in one foot or in both feet, based on what the underlying cause is. The condition can be temporary depending on the cause and can be fixed with physical therapy and a foot and ankle brace while the nerve and/or muscles are healing, but there are times that it can be permanent.
Treatment varies and will again, depend on the cause of foot drop. If you experience symptoms that appear to be like those of foot drop you should see a foot and ankle specialist or orthopedic doctor as soon as possible.
