Re: Foot Drop

How long have you had the foot drop? Usually we place them in a brace type device called an AFO to correct the foot drop when one walks. If it's fairly new, we just kind of wait and see if the nerves will regenerate. If you've had it for about a year there is pretty much nothing that can be done expect for corrective bracing or shoes.
