Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for foot drop rehabilitation? Early physiotherapy can help improve walking ability and reduce the risk of falls.
Why Does Foot Drop Occur?
Foot drop is caused by weakness or paralysis of the muscles that lift the foot. It may occur due to nerve injury, stroke, lumbar spine disorders, or neurological conditions. Without treatment, it can affect balance, walking speed, and everyday mobility.
