I really appreciate the no-narrative video. Sometimes, I just need to see what to do and try to mimic it. You are very knowledgeable and have been extremely helpful during my recovery process. Please continue including more videos like this one.
Thank you so much for the exercises. I will work hard on getting my mobility back in my foot and ankle with these exercises. I appreciate you. God bless you.
I had it bad and Sciatica and Super painful to try to walk starting last fall and im glad it went away after months of working with it at home. I had lost all upward foot function and same with my toes but I finally regained functionality .
Wish you could use a patient that actually has foot drop. This makes it look easy when in reality n Most of us are not there yet. However saying that I thank you for showing us the exercises
It's a late reply and hope you're completely healed. You'd need an able bodied individual to show what your trying to achieve someone with foot drop couldn't perform them properly and may not demonstrate the technique vividly.
My toes do not lift up like that, it’s a real drop foot, but I am still trying to do most of these exercises, I trip a lot and my toes go under, ouch! But I do need to keep the ankle and plantar stretched and Achilles also, thanks for your tips!
Thanks so much! Helping my Dad who has foot drop. How do you know what is the right number of reps? Trying to find the balance between enough to have impact without going overboard.
Dear Dr. Thanks for making such a nice video. Thank you so much. Dear Dr. I have only one doubt during the whole video, I noticed you are wearing socks on working leg and non-working leg is a bare foot. Am I right or wrong correct me if I am wrong but I noticed at time 3:07 and 3:53 bare foot has been mark as working leg. Shall I take the exercises during and afterwards time 3:07 and 3:53 are correct to do with working leg. Please help and response.
steve kierstead lol. Thanks! I am an I I am an “editor in training”, 🙋🏻♀️. So this is probably one of the nicest comments I have received about these videos 😂 I will be sure to do this with the spasticity exercises as well. It will be easier to watch when you just want to do the exercises
Dr Tara, i have a problem with my feet where the toes often get curled up. When this happens, i will be out of balance. How do i train my brain to relax as to uncurl the toes. Tq
I had severe foot drop suddenly after prolonged kneeling and sitting on leg for hours(floor instalation) Initialy i had not lift my foot even one mm After 10 days i restored full range of motion but i noticed there is not full power like before,when i put weights around 10 kg's on foot and try to lift i only can do few reps Will my muscle power restore fully if i keep exercise? Now is 2 weeks when problem started,i regulary followed your video ,range is there but power is not fully restored.
I'm 24 year old and i have foot drop in my right leg... How long this excersice generally takes and should i go through any surgery.. And playing cricket and running will help me in it ??
Madam , If peroneal nerve compression or damage occurs during hip replacement surgery, is it temporary or a permanent disease? What is best treatment? I expected replay mam
My toes no longer point downward, but my ankle still inverts when I lift my foot up, and my toes curl. Should I prioritize the exercises in your toe cramping video? Thank you!
Doctor has done all possible tests all are normal. Ncv, brain MRI, back lower back MRI, all blood tests, emg all are normal but I can pull my right ankle partially, right leg can't bear my weight, I can't walk properly, imbalance, diffcult to climb stairs, some one my foot drags, it's been 3years now, haven't got solution, my age is 29, any suggestions
I cant do first 3 types of movement because my ankle totaly dont lift upward. Still should i try these to send brain signal to muscle? After first three i can do all of them. Thank you
I literally realized i have drop foot a couple of days ago..... i have been doing he exercises though most of them i cannot do. I have always been a very active person knowing i have flat feet. Never would i have thought i would have a left foot completely paralyzed. Does a person actually recover from drop foot solely by doing the exercises? Help !! Im a little scared :(((
Hi Daniel, my foot drop turns out that it was an underlying neurological condition; a spinal cord tumour!! I am on my way to recovery! If you want to hear me out some more would love to share.
Merhaba,benim 4-Kasım-2020 de belim tutuldu daha önce böyle bir geçmişim vardı,3 gün sonra beldeki ağrım bacağıma vurdu birkaç gün sonra düşük ayak oldum ameliyat olmadan atlatırım dedim maalesef 26 Kasımda ameliyat oldum ağrılarım geçti derken 3.gun yine ağrılarım başladı 9 gün aradan sonra 2.ameliyatımı oldum,fakat yürüyemiyordum sağ ayağımı kaldıramıyordum 1 hafta sonra kontrole gittim hareket gösterdiler bu hareketlerden sonra biraz iyi oldum volkırsız yürüyemiyordum zamanla bebek gibi yürümeyi öğrendim günde 2kez 1-2 saat çalıştım,4 aydında reformıra gidiyorum,sizi yeni keşfettim tanıdığıma çok memnunum 1haftadir sizin hareketlerinizi günde 2kez 3 tekrar yapıyorum biraz daha iyileşme farkettim,tek sorunum yürümeye çıktığımda bileğim ve ayak tabanım ağrıyor,aksayarak yürümemi dert etmiyorum ağrım olmasın yeter,uzun oldu biliyorum kusura bakmayın,ayağım düzelirmi,başka önerdiğiniz hareketleriniz olurmu,çooook teşekkür ederim,başarılarınızın devamını dilerim,sevgiler,saygılar,sağlıkla kalın.👏😘

If I can walk barefoot slowly, can I eventually go back to wearing the shoes I want to without needing an AFO? I haven't tried walking in shoes without an AFO yet. but I think the feeling when walking barefoot or with socks is different than when wearing sandals. Or I think walking with sandals might feel more unstable? Like I have to push my foot down into eversion. and with sandals I feel like my whole foot will flip over.
When I see somebody dorsiflexion their foot up and down and I realize I can't do that very well at all I become a little depressed and then my depression turns into anger and I want to bite their big toe off. Eye of the Tiger I guess just really makes me want to get better also. But I don't really want to bite their toe off but it just feels good to say it. I don't know where their toe has been or what they've stepped in that day so that's absolutely probably a bad idea.😁🍒👍🏼
Not realistic for actual foot drop which BY DEFINITION is the ABSENCE of muscular tone AND activation of anterior muscles of lower leg (dorsiflexor group)
@@rehabhqofficial Fully subscribe with full notifications. Your content is great, but in this particular example, the root cause is not realistically demonstrated in the movement prescription. I had foot drop and had motor neuron impairment due to anterior compartment syndrome. I had lost nerve conduction and hence ability to initiate a contraction. It was years and years of diligent attention while I walked with compensatory gait to correct my gait as far as possible in my daily activities. It was a VERY gradual and tedious process.
Hi Ankit! That is a tough question. Foot drop is not a diagnosis in itself but is a symptom of some other problem. It is hard to say if there is a "treatment" for your condition as I do not know what that condition is. I will say, that these videos will help to improve your balance but they may or may not improve the strength in the muscles that lift the foot.
I really appreciate the no-narrative video. Sometimes, I just need to see what to do and try to mimic it. You are very knowledgeable and have been extremely helpful during my recovery process. Please continue including more videos like this one.
Yes thank you for the non-narrative video it helps me concentrate better on the movement. Since my stroke I have a hard time doing two things at once.
Thank you so much for the exercises. I will work hard on getting my mobility back in my foot and ankle with these exercises. I appreciate you. God bless you.

Dr. Tobias you’re truly an angel, I appreciate all the videos that you have made they keep me sane and hopeful.
Tamara, I am so glad I can help. It does not go unnoticed how often you comment and give me the motivation to keep going. 😊
Thank you for your generosity. These video and your emails are really helping me to get moving ♥️

You'd need an able bodied individual to show what your trying to achieve someone with foot drop couldn't perform them properly and may not demonstrate the technique vividly.
How do you do that when you can’t pull your toes up?

Using a brace when you walk might help to "retrain" the foot to stay straight.
