Foot Drop Overview

Drop Foot (also called foot drop) is a condition in which an individual cannot lift the front part of his/her foot. As a result, the individual’s toes drag on the ground as they walk.  People with this condition will lift their knees higher than normal or alter their leg movement as a preventive measure, both of which can lead to additional problems.

Drop foot can be temporary or permanent depending on the cause and severity. It is important to recognize that it is not disease; it is a condition that is often the symptom of a greater problem, including:

• Nerve Damage – This is the most common reason for drop foot. The peroneal nerve, which stretches from behind the knee to the bottom of the shin, suffers damage and the individual loses control over the front of their foot. This is commonly caused from physical injury, diabetes or surgery on lower limbs.
• Neurological – Sometimes drop foot can be rooted to an issue with the brain. Some examples are stroke, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.
• Muscle diseases:  The muscles in the forefoot can diminish due to muscular diseases such as muscular dystrophy, Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) and Polio. The lack of muscle control can result in drop foot.
