Foot drop: Depends on the extent of the injury, location of the injury, and time since nerve injury. Little short on the details to give a good answer.

Urge wearing a supportive splint for safety, maintaining physical therapy for muscular integrity and compensation skills, taking a B complex vitamin just to cover bases, but only time will result in healing and that depends on what the true significance is of the "little damage". Discuss the EMG findings and what they imply with the doctor!
