A member asked:
Will foot drop be associated with thrombosis?

Bed rest culprit: Usually patients who are bedridden from prolonged diseased states like paralysis, coma, multiple sclerosis, etc who can't get physical therapy nor compression pumps combined with ted stockings and high top tennis shoes, get foot drop. These types of patients can get dvts deep vein blood clots from the sluggish, pooled blood.. So not directly from foot drop itself that is just another complication.

Not: necessarily……there are many reasons one could have a drop foot…sometimes it is related to a stroke…but not always..
