Foot drop is a condition that affects a person's ability to lift the front part of their foot. This can lead to difficulty in walking, as the foot may drag on the ground or cause tripping. It is often caused by weakness or paralysis of the muscles that control foot movement, which can result from nerve injury, neurological disorders, or certain medical conditions. Treatment for foot drop may include physical therapy, braces, or assistive devices to help improve mobility. In some cases, surgery may be considered to address the underlying cause. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage symptoms and enhance quality of life.
