###Human: Can anxiety cause foot drop and twitches in the body? ###Assistant: Hello. It is good that your foot drop is improving in a five weeks period. The twitches that you are feeling may be due to anxiety also. If it was ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), the foot drop would be unlikely to improve. As it is improving, it is unlikely to be ALS. I suggest you undergo the following investigations. There can be many causes for foot drop. You should meet a neurologist for investigations to find reasons for foot drop and its proper management.
