What Is Foot Drop?
Foot drop is a condition where a person has difficulty lifting the front part of the foot (dorsiflexion), causing the toes to drag during walking.
Individuals with foot drop often develop a high-stepping walking pattern to avoid tripping.
Foot drop is usually a symptom of an underlying neurological, muscular, or nerve-related condition rather than a disease itself.
