Foot Drop:
It ranges from the weakness of the dorsiflexion and toe extension to the
complete paralysis and inability to dorsiflex and evert the foot. This is
due to loss of motor innervation to the anterior extensors of the foot. The
main sensory symptom is the loss of sensation in the dorsum of the foot
and the first dorsal webspace. The diagnosis is usually established by
physical examination and confirmed by electrodiagnostic tools.
