A member asked:
Can an electromyography detect the cause of foot drop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surely: From your description, could be due to lumbar L-5 root compression, but your foot drop could even be due to peroneal nerve compression. EMG done in certified lab could certainly differentiate.
