Hi, i was wondering if there are any correction procedures for drop foot. my foot as gradually getting worse, i think it was cause by hamstring tear. ?

My thoughts: A foot drop is often caused by problems with peroneal nerve, occasionally proximally affecting sciatic nerve, and rather frequently due to L-5 nerve root compression. First, the cause must be confirmed, then, the treatment is based upon reversing or compensating for the cause. An AFO splint may be of temporary value. ?Concierge appt.?

Brace: Foot drop can be caused by nerve impingement in the back as well as direct injury to the apposing tendon. A brace can be made to keep the foot straight if the ankle is still flexible enough. However, surgeries can be performed to stabilize the foot drop. However, an exam is necessary to diagnose the cause of the foot drop before any corrective action is done.

Not so fast...: From the flow of your question, it sounds like this is a presently undiagnosed, untreated problem. Finding the cause of the weakness and initiating the appropriate treatment plan are required before any corrective procedures are attempted.

Finding the : Etiology is important also which foot is affected may come into play as well.
