Drop foot is a condition that makes it difficult to lift the front of the foot and toes while walking. This can cause the foot to drag or slap against the ground, making walking more difficult and increasing the risk of tripping or falling.
Why do I have it? Drop foot can develop when the nerves or muscles responsible for lifting the front of the foot become weakened or damaged. Common causes include nerve compression or injury, certain neurological conditions, muscle disorders, or injuries affecting the lower leg, ankle or spine. Because there are several possible causes, proper assessment is important.
Drop foot does not always cause pain, but symptoms are usually most noticeable while walking. You may have difficulty lifting the front of your foot, experience your toes dragging or your foot slapping the ground, or need to lift your knee higher than normal to avoid tripping.
The right brace can help support the foot and ankle in a more functional position, making walking safer and reducing the risk of tripping. An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) may help improve foot clearance and stability during movement. Because drop foot can have several underlying causes, proper assessment is important to determine the most appropriate support.
