What is Foot Drop?

Foot Drop is a condition characterised by difficulty lifting the front part of the foot, often leading to a "slapping" gait or the need to lift the knee higher when walking to avoid dragging the toes. Foot Drop can result from nerve injury, muscle disorders, or neurological conditions that affect the muscles responsible for foot movement. Common symptoms include muscle weakness, limited control of the foot, and difficulty walking. With the right treatment, you can improve foot function, regain strength, and reduce the impact of Foot Drop on your mobility.

Are You Struggling with Mobility Challenges Due to Foot Drop?

Living with Foot Drop can make daily tasks challenging, as limited foot control may interfere with walking, running, or even standing comfortably. You may feel frustrated by restricted movement and worried about falls or further complications. With targeted support, you can improve foot function, build strength, and confidently move with ease.
