What is Foot Drop?
Foot drop is a condition that makes it difficult to lift the front part of the foot while walking. This can cause the toes to drag along the ground or result in a higher-than-normal stepping motion to avoid tripping.
Foot drop isn’t a condition itself but is usually the result of an underlying neurological or muscular problem. Common causes include:
- Stroke
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Peripheral nerve injuries
- Muscular dystrophy
- Cerebral palsy
- Spinal injuries
- Peroneal nerve damage
An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO), such as the Boxia® Drop Foot AFO, helps lift the foot during walking, improving safety, reducing the risk of trips and falls, and promoting a more natural gait. Keeping your orthosis in good condition by replacing worn components, such as the hook pads, helps ensure it continues to provide effective support.
