Foot drop: The simple answer is yes. Fatigable weakness is common as you are recovering. Too much too often too soon may inhibit recovery. Especially if the axons or wires have been injured and new branches develop which are susceptible to injury. But, progressive strengthening is critical as you recover. It is a balancing act best managed with feedback to your therapist.
