Foot-drop
Dropping of the front of the foot due to weakness or paralysis of the anterior muscles of the lower leg.
Foot-drop results in what is called a steppage gait in which the advancing foot is lifted high in order that the toes may clear the ground.
Foot drop can be due to a number of conditions including injury to the muscles that dorsiflex the foot or to the nerves to those muscles, a neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, a stroke, drug toxicity, and diabetes.
Treatment may include an ankle-foot orthosis
