Drop Foot Treatment & Information

[FootScientificStore]

Hi Krishna,
We are sorry to hear about your accident and hope you are doing well. We plan on having our Elevate Drop Foot brace available for purchase January 2013. Please stay tuned!

Sorry about your brother.  Icing the knee didn't cause drop foot or make it worse.  If he injured his knee he may have injured the peroneal nerve which helps in lifting the foot.  Hopefully there will be some improvement that will naturally occur over the next few months.  In the meantime, the Elevate Drop Foot Brace can keep him playing.

I saw a doctor right away when I first got my drop foot in April 2019, but I got no treatment at all here in Australia, just lots of tests with still no idea of the cause. Also, I have a 'double-whammy' because my varicose veins started getting worse after the drop foot came on. After wearing compression stockings I began to get "superficial clots" (I stopped wearing them because a new varicose vein developed on the inside of my knee so the top of the compression stocking was pressing into it), and finally I was rushed to hospital on 24 December 2019 with a metre-long clot in my leg. They took out my whole saphenous vein on Boxing Day. My drop foot had improved somewhat before the clots got bad after trying 3 different acupuncturists. Each acupuncturist achieved longer-lasting results than the one before. Just as the bruising from the removal of my saphenous vein is almost gone, the drop foot is not the worst it has ever been (causing me to fall). I was a hard core hiker right up until my drop foot came on. I can't remember any injury that may have caused it...unless a suspected broken little toe could do that?

My foot drop came immediately after hip replacement in June 2012.after 1 year of P.T. therapist said it would never return. Had MRI neurologist  could not find any problems in my back . Now use a Dorsi Lite foot brace to get around

hi Chris,
I met with an accident on 31st January 2019 which caused knee dislocation (ACL and LCL injury) but common paroneal nerve was intact . After 3-4 months of wait on 15th May 2019 triple nerve grafting was performed . It's been 4 months now since nerve surgery but it has not improved even a single bit. In stead my ankles are getting stiff. Can you please guide me, what should I do now?

[seshuaiyar]

[jennifercraig-holt]

Wondering if foot drop diagnosis even after nerve study shows peroneal nerve from knee down is dead could really be CRPS. Could someone help?

[rondolan]

I got to have surgery for disk replacement I've got drop foot the surgery should have done a year ago I'm afraid the damage is to far gone

[txcookie]

My drop foot started after right hip replacement and the doctor said he had no idea what happened. Since I'm on Medicaid, due to disability, I can't even GET a brace. I'm sick of this wheelchair and ready to wheel in front of a big rig.

Thanks so much my brother has started playing now but without the Elevate Drop Foot Brace, He sometimes trips and fall, hope that wont cause any harm to his leg, he can play now but not as active as he used to play before the drop foot incident. Show he keep on playing with it or he should rest the leg?

[csharpkrsna]

Hi Doctor,
Am Krishna from India,
I met with an accident a year back.
I got a left tibia fractured....
Doctor's used some screws to help my fracture to heal...
After one day of surjery ...I found that am unable to lift my foot up.
After 2 months, they removed the inserted screws .
but that did not help me out.
Nerve tests shows my sensory nerves are good but not motor nerves.
Doctor's said it takes few months to year for recovery.
If not, tendon transform will be done for me.
pls help me.
