Try walking fast: Foot-drop entails a weakness of lifting up your foot usually due to a nerve problem. Over time you can develop a contracture of your achilles tendon which can limit your body's ability to lift the foot up once the strength of your muscles return. You may be walking better because you feel you are dragging your foot less. Concentrate on doing achilles stretching to keep your ankle supple.
