What therapy is good for drop foot ?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
An AFO is a start: Depending on what caused your foot drop you at the very least will need an AFO brace to help with your foot and leg. If your foot drop is related to an injury then you made need to see a podiatric foot and ankle surgeon which specializes in peripheral nerve surgery. You can go to www.Aens.Us to find a surgeon in your area.

Foot Drop: Therapy for foot drop will be based on the level of injury. Some patients do very well with a short course of physical therapy and bracing while others need long term therapy and possibly even surgery.
