Bandage for falling foot (dorsiflexion) - Ersamed SL-916

Dropped foot is a neurological disorder in which the front of the foot does not rise. This causes the toes to rub against the ground while walking, so patients with this condition often compensate for their dysfunction by lifting the knee high or arching the limb.

A dropped foot is usually the result of weakness or paralysis of the foot extensor muscles. There are 3 main reasons:

• peroneal nerve injury
• damage to the brain or spine
• muscle damage

Drop foot is a condition that can affect both feet and people of any age. His treatment is rehabilitation and eventually surgery. On the other hand, special orthoses are most commonly used to improve the dynamics of the foot.
