Peripheral Neuropathy
CASE REPORT: A 47-yr-old female hyperbaric technician developed foot drop 2 d following her last hyperbaric exposure.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We treated a 52-year-old man who had severe disabling classic peripheral neuropathy since 1998 with Scrambler Therapy (Calmare), an FDA-cleared peripheral non-invasive neuromodulation[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This leads to a condition called " foot drop ," in which it becomes difficult to lift the foot.[webmd.com]
Chronic Kidney Insufficiency
, peripheral sensory and motor neuropathies, muscle cramps, hyperreflexia, restless legs syndrome, and seizures (usually the result of hypertensive or metabolic encephalopathy[merckmanuals.com]
With more severe renal disease (eg, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), neuromuscular symptoms may be present, including coarse muscular twitches[merckmanuals.com]
Charcot Marie Tooth Disease
Abstract Gait abnormalities reported in childhood Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) include foot-drop, reduced ankle power at push-off and increased knee and hip flexion for[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Charcot-Marie Tooth disease (CMT) encompasses several inherited peripheral motor-sensory neuropathies and is one of the most common inherited neuromuscular diseases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
STATE OF THE ART REVIEW First Online: 09 February 2007 Abstract Charcot-Marie Tooth disease (CMT) encompasses several inherited peripheral motor-sensory neuropathies and is[doi.org]
Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
Clinically, it is characterized by slowly progressive asymmetrical predominantly distal weakness; unilateral wrist drop, grip weakness, and foot drop are the commonest initial[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
An autopsy showed severe widespread demyelination without lymphoma cell infiltration in the peripheral nerves.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Wrist drop and foot drop (leading to trips and falls) are common symptoms. Other effects can include gradual loss of finger extension, leading to a clawlike appearance.[en.wikipedia.org]
Peroneal Nerve Compression Neuropathy
Abstract Foot drop is a debilitating condition, which may take many months to recover.[omcr.oxfordjournals.org]
Diagnosis of PPNI A thorough history and clinical examination are essential to localize the lesion and to identify a pre-existing peripheral neuropathy.[academic.oup.com]
Injury to the peroneal nerve can cause foot drop, a distinctive way of walking due to an inability to bend the foot upward at the ankle.[hopkinsmedicine.org]
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Two years after the onset, the patient still suffered from residual leg weakness and foot drop.[scinapse.io]
Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy (AMAN) No sensory deficits Associated with epidemics following C. jejuni enteritis.[pedemmorsels.com]
[…] continued foot drop in 12 of the AFO patients.[physio-pedia.com]
Alcoholic Neuropathy
Foot braces may also be helpful if you have problems with foot drop. If you have weakness in your arms, a wrist splint may be helpful.[patient.info]
Rarely if the neuropathy is severe patients may also develop peripheral weakness (motor symptoms).[braindiseases.info]
Traumas, such as from motor vehicle accidents, falls or sports injuries, can sever or damage peripheral nerves.[mayoclinic.org]
Mononeuritis Multiplex
Mononeuritis multiplex is a peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy usually producing foot or wrist drop, commonly associated with necrotizing arteritis of small and medium-sized[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Familial Progressive Polyneuropathy
Foot drop (foot can't be picked up or held horizontal) Progressive deformity of leg ("inverted champagne bottle") or foot (abnormally high arched feet, flat feet, hammer toes[peripheralneuropathycenter.uchicago.edu]
Its severity was proportional to both sensory-motor peripheral neuropathy and dysautonomia.[content.iospress.com]
Patients can also suffer from high arched feet, hammer toes, foot drop, foot deformities, and scoliosis.[en.wikipedia.org]
Diabetic Mononeuropathy
Distribution: Common areas effected Wrist Drop ( Radial Nerve ) Loss of finger flexion and grip ( Median Nerve ) Foot drop (deep peroneal nerve, L4-L5) Recurrent laryngeal[fpnotebook.com]
Autopsy studies on several patients showed peripheral nerve degeneration ( Leyden 1887 ; Auche 1890 ).[medlink.com]
