GREAT video👍. I am so happy you stated that 12 to 18 months you will see good results as most people will think after 1 week and with no improvement then they stop working out their floppy foot.... I will definitely do this every day and I appreciate the way you show us how to do those exercises..🙏

[@kinetichealthonline]

Thank you for your positive feedback on our MSR practitioner demonstration video. It’s excellent to see your proactive approach to rehabilitation and your patience with the process. Results from such practices often take 12 to 18 months, as you've noted, which is a testament to the body's need for time to adapt and strengthen. While our video aims to guide MSR practitioners in training, we strongly advise individuals to consult with a qualified practitioner for personalized assessment and recommendations, particularly for persistent conditions. This ensures you're on the right track and adapting recommendations to your unique needs.

I experienced foot drop about two months after improperly positioning myself during a yoga session. I did everything I could to improve my condition, including watching several videos and following various exercises. I also came across comments from individuals who mentioned they were unable to walk as they did before, even after several years. However, I want to encourage you not to lose hope. It is possible to regain your ability to walk normally-I was able to do so within two months. While I still experience occasional pain, it is manageable. So, stay committed to your exercises and remain optimistic. Finally,Thank you for the helpful video ❤❤

Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your situation. It’s clear you're facing a challenging health issue with the recurrence of autoimmune pancreatitis and its associated drop foot. Given the complexity of autoimmune conditions and their propensity to affect the body in multiple ways, it’s indeed vital to have a thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider. A detailed examination and possibly some diagnostic tests are key to providing you with a personalized approach to managing your condition and its symptoms, including the drop foot that you've described. Your physician will be best equipped to offer specific recommendations that consider your medical history, current treatment, and overall health status. Stay safe, and I hope that you find a successful treatment strategy that brings your condition into remission and addresses the drop foot effectively.

12 - 18 months for it to work?

[@kinetichealthonline]

Your question is very valid. It's important to note that the recovery duration from foot drop can considerably differ based on its underlying cause. While some instances may indeed require 12-18 months, this isn't a universal timeframe. The recovery timeline for foot drop can vary significantly based on several factors: Cause of Foot Drop: Foot drop can be caused by various conditions, such as nerve injury, muscle or nerve disorders, or neurological conditions. The nature and extent of the underlying issue can significantly affect recovery time. For instance, temporary peroneal nerve compression may resolve fairly quickly once the pressure is relieved. In contrast, foot drop caused by stroke or significant nerve damage may take much longer and may not fully resolve. The Condition's severity: The nerve or muscular damage also plays a significant role in recovery time. Mild cases of foot drop due to temporary nerve compression may recover within weeks to a few months. In contrast, severe damage can take several months or even years, and sometimes the condition may be permanent. Treatment Approach: The treatment strategy used can also affect the recovery timeline. Physical therapy, including exercises to strengthen leg muscles and improve gait, can help speed up recovery. In some cases, assistive devices like braces or splints may be used. If the foot drop is caused by a treatable underlying condition, addressing that condition could potentially resolve the foot drop. Patient Factors: Factors such as the patient's age, overall health, and the presence of other medical conditions can influence the speed of recovery. Younger and healthier patients tend to recover more quickly than older or less healthy individuals. Consistency and Effort: The patient's compliance with the recommended therapeutic exercises and treatments is also crucial. Regular exercise under a healthcare professional's guidance can help maximize recovery. Timing of the Intervention: Earlier diagnosis and treatment generally lead to better outcomes. Delayed treatment can result in a worse prognosis and longer recovery times. Given these factors, consulting with a healthcare provider for a personalized prognosis and treatment plan is crucial. If you'd like to understand more about this topic, I invite you to read an article I've authored, which provides insight on foot drop and the potential role of manual therapy and functional exercises in its management.

Then suddenly things started to go downhill. There was no injury, no trauma, no accident. My right foot dropped and is swollen during the day. It gives me neuropathic type pain. Toes on this foot are numb all of the time. Next, I lost my knee jerk reflex on my left leg. The knee on my left leg can no longer be trusted. It looks like something called "trick knee". I can no longer lift my left leg while on my back. I can not lift up with it, from sitting or squatting position. I saw numerous doctors and specialist over these 6 months.

Hello @majstorvuksan, thank you for watching and for sharing your situation. I understand how concerning foot drop can be, and I appreciate your willingness to seek out exercises and treatments that might help. Since your condition is related to compression from prolonged kneeling, it’s critical to follow the advice of your neurologist. Rest is often key in allowing the nerves to recover from compression. As for exercising, it's essential not to engage in activities that may worsen the condition or impede recovery. I’d recommend discussing specific exercises with your healthcare provider who can suggest movements that accommodate your current state and aid in your recovery process. While B complex vitamins are beneficial for nerve health, your neurologist's guidance should be your primary path forward. If you have been advised to rest, it may be best to focus on that until you've been cleared to exercise by your healthcare professional. Take care and I hope you find a path to recovery that suits your specific needs.

I have weakness in my both feet from a lumbar spine problem and it’s so hard to walk. So frustrating 😢

[@De_Red]

​@@jdenino6022 I'm with you, I knew something was wrong with my foot years ago after dropping some heavy equipment on my foot, however my lumbar spine was severely herniated. L3, 7.5mm L4 8.3mm L5 9.5mm impingement. And it seemed I waited too late to try other non surgical alternatives. As I was turned down by many chiropractors and the university after trying to see if the DRX9000 could help. Recently did a 360 surgery Lumbar fusion, Anterior Instrumentation, Cage June 15. 23 now my foot drop seems more pronounced and I tend to get down about the situation and how I ignore the signs now I'm stuck with a remanufactured back and a foot I can't lift. I don't think there's any hope for me as I believe all of the muscles in my calf have completely been dissolved. The side of my shin used to bother me. I assumed it was just shooting hot pain from my sciatic nerve running from my back down my leg and to my foot however I'm sure that played a part in me getting foot drop. Idk I pray I can find a solution someday to regain that range of motion and control to pick up my foot again.

Had footdrop since 2020 its gotten better but not 100% more like 60%. There still a slap when I walk. Will I ever get back to 100% or better than 60%??

Hi Darryn: I cannot make comments on specific cases I have not examined. The recovery time for foot drop can vary depending on the underlying cause, the severity of the condition, and the individual's overall health and level of physical activity. In some cases, foot drop may resolve on its own within a few weeks or months, while in other cases, it may require more intensive treatment and take longer to resolve. I had a disc rupture in my 30's, it was several years before I got full feeling back in my foot. Cheers

I got foot drop after popliteal surgery ,why did this happen ?

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hello, and thank you for watching our video and sharing your experience. Due to the limitations of this platform, I'm unable to offer specific medical advice without a thorough physical examination. The occurrence of foot drop after popliteal surgery is a complex issue that warrants immediate professional attention. It could be related to various factors such as surgical technique, nerve impingement, or post-operative care. Therefore, consulting a qualified healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation is crucial for identifying the root cause and determining an appropriate treatment plan.

[@samkitty5894]

If one has a drop foot, like I do, there is no way he can point his toes up, even without applying resistance from the top.

[@kinetichealthonline]

Thanks for sharing your experience, @samkitty5894. Indeed, foot drop varies significantly from person to person. The MSR techniques shown in our video are specialized interventions and require a professional's assessment and application. It's important to work with a healthcare provider for a treatment tailored to your unique condition. You might be interested in a blog I wrote on Foot Drop cheers!
