Drop Foot Complications
Regardless of the foot drop cause for the specific patient, the fact remains that a dropped foot can produce many difficulties, including the inability to:
- Raise the foot at the ankle
- Point the toes upward at the body (this movement is known as dorsiflexion)
- Walk normally in the heel-to-toe fashion.
Foot Drop Considerations
Patients with dropped foot should be aware of the following:
- Foot drop may be experienced in one or both feet. If the dropped foot is caused by a low back condition, it is typically experienced in one foot.
- Drop foot is a temporary or permanent condition, depending on its cause and treatment.
- Foot drop may be simplistically diagnosed by having difficulty raising up on their heels.
