How to Treat Drop Foot | Foot Drop

[@Skipbo000]

I find it helpful to watch videos with people that actually HAVE dropped foot. It a neurological condition dude. It's not a case of "out of shape," being too lazy or not working out the foot. It's hard to really imagine not being able to pull up the top of your foot until it actually happens to you.

i have cmt, lost my feet movement 15 y ago

[@PIXELSURPRISE]

*raises hand* cmt 1A here too. There are no exercises to undo this

[@54Mello]

Foot drop since July it’s now September and I still can’t walk properly. PT said it takes a long time to correct…part of sciatica in the right leg.

[@PIXELSURPRISE]

@@54Mello I’ve had foot drop for 24+ years. Lol nothing short of surgery is gonna fix this

[@54Mello]

@@PIXELSURPRISE OMG! Don’t tell me that! I am so hopeful my foot will go back to normal. Do you feel tightness under the toes?

[@hastha7083]

90degree foot drop SPLINT MUST BE USED IN THE NIGHT, WHILE ASLEEP..OR ELSE, THE FOOT DROP IS GOING TO GET WORSE. THE ABOVE MENTIONED SPLINT MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES BY THE AFFECTED PERSON ON THE AFFECTED SIDE. ONLY DURING FOOT ,DORSIFLEXION EXERCISES, THE SPLINT CAN BE REMOVED. THE PATIENT COULD USE A THERABAND ,TO PULL UP THE TOES, IN DORSIFLEXION ,EVEN IN SITTING POSITION AGAINST GRAVITY......THIS POSITION IS GOOD FOR QUICK RECOVERY.

[@jaimesgran-d6070]

Hi Nathan, how xbout exercises for heavy foot? Tightening of muscles?

[@bruthermark]

I Just came across your channel and I have already become a subscriber, your approach to rehabbing drop foot is encouraging to say the least, I have been dealing with foot drop for about six years now and it's as problematic as my actual MS, I look forward to watching the follow up to this presentation.

[@eltonwelsby787]

Hi. Great video. The band stretches, how does that help with foot drop?

[@sayckeone]

This is a year old, but the idea is that when you pull your foot up and release the band, you need to use your muscles to keep your foot in that position for ten seconds, which should strengthen the muscle over time, allowing you to eventually regain upward movement of your foot.

[@hfaith81]

Thank you! This was very beneficial. God bless!

Hi brother I saffer food drop. improve my drop more vedios please

How do we order the device you described/demonstrated. My ago is killing my ankle.

[@jvaliant6804]

Hi Dr. Nathan. My aunt got her first stroke attack in Oct'22. Her right arm, hand and fingers are flaccid. She can curl up her fingers (not so well, but she can) by using her shoulder strength, what do I need to do more to help her everyday? Whenever she's panic, her hand becomes stiff for a moment. I can see there’s a gap within her shoulder and arm. How to increase her hands ability? Thank you so much Dr. Nathan!

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

You are welcome. But i am an OT. Cant call myself a doctor. 😬 but for the shoulder, do this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmjTknedfs5jj7c And for the arm: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX7VnZ6Bq990gJI

[@renatomarquez1505]

Very useful video. Can't say thank you more than enough.More power to you. I do have a question. I have a foot drop for a year now but I still go out and play golf walking, walk the trails and I exercise quite a bit focusing on my core. I also climb the stairs almost daily for 30 minutes and finished 80 flghts (8 steps per flight). Is this bad for my foot drop problem?

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Nope. It is helping you be doing functional movements. Stay active like you are doing now. 🤙🏽🤙🏽😘

[@raghavendrakothamangala6328]

Very nice. Thank you very much.

Sounds like a nerve problem. The nerve needs to heal and get fixed first.

Thank you sir.I also have a foot drop.when I try to pull the foot up I feel like I have a very big gup in the joint.

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Did you get an xray or check up with your doctor? But this exercises will still help

[@tagmidia8805]

@@SKILLSANDWELLNESS I took when I was still young. And I even had operations .they could tell me to do exercise with the leg but it did not work since I didn't know exactly how to do it.I could not do any response in the muscles.but now I can feel it.and the more I do it is responding. Just what I feel they are too weak to pul up.and also experience much play in joint with a big gup.which I think is due to muscle reluctance.

[@marciadillon6813]

Thank you much! Had a stroke due to blood clot on the right side of my brain. Right foot okay and toes but left foot and toes does not flex normally. I have been thinking about methods of circulation. I do feel if I bup my left toes or foot. Just that toes will not flex or bend normally.

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

I will do my best to formulate a video about that. For the mean time, dont give up with your therapy

[@agnetam61]

i have to wait for 4 weeks before i can get mine. that is very long

[@kendall73white]

Quick question what if you having neurological issues with the leg and your foot is always on the balls of feet, how do you improve your balance? Its like you are walking flat foot and the other foot is on your toes.

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Inserts and shoe modifications if tendon release is not an option

[@SbongileIrene-ce7ni]

Thank you it's working 🎉

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Yay. Happy for you

If it is stiff and hard to bend it up, you might need a surgery for tendon release amd elongation. But start with daily stretching
