Drop Foot

• A person with foot drop cannot lift her foot as the result of little or no muscle activity around the ankle. This condition may occur, for example, after confinement to bed for a long period of time. Foot drop may also be a symptom of multiple sclerosis, a severed nerve or cerebral palsy, or it may follow a stroke.
