Foot drop. Foot drop is a gait abnormality in which the dropping of the forefoot happens due to weakness, irritation or damage to the common fibular nerve including the sciatic nerve, or paralysis of the muscles in the anterior portion of the lower leg. It is usually a symptom of a greater problem, not a disease in itself. Foot drop is characterized by inability or impaired ability to raise the toes or raise the foot from the ankle. Foot drop may be temporary or permanent, depending on the extent of muscle
Surgeons at the Center for Nerve Injury and Paralysis can treat foot drop: paralysis of the muscles below the knee that lift the front part of the foot, resulting in a foot that hangs at the ankle. A person who has foot drop may have difficulty walking and need to wear a brace on the leg. Possible causes of foot drop include lumbar disc herniation (damage to a nerve root in the lumbar spine), damage to the peroneal nerve (usually near the knee) or damage to the nerve bundles in the lumbosacral plexus.
