dropfoot
I am a 54 yr. old female, approximately 3 yrs. ago I had a ruptured disc, s1,l5, and at the time of occurance developed drop foot in my right foot.
This was so traumatic.
I fall alot which has caused other back and knee problems.
Is there anything that can be done surgically at this point to improver my gait?
Thank youLinda Bartholow

If you have been thoroughly evaluated by a neurologist or neurosurgeon or back orthopedist, I think someone would suggest an AFO. This is an ankle foot orthoses. You should try this before even considering a surgical procedure. Good LuckVivian A DPM
