Depends....: Recovery depends on a number of factors. One is what cuased the dropfoot. Another is how long ago it started. There are other things that facotr into it. I suggest seeing an orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon. One in your area can be found at www.Aofas.Org.

Foot drop: Recovery for foot drop in many patients is 100%... depending on the injury. Typically, conservative treatment is the answer. If a nerve is completely severed there are surgical options that work very well. Take care and best wishes!
