Ok so before I start, I want to mention that drop foot can be a very severe condition that would require a lot of work, and depending on whether we are talking about nerve damage, the rehab can be different.
In this video, I will show you a way to release and help you with symptoms of drop foot where the muscles innervated by the peroneal nerve are simply not working at full capacity, or due to nerve compression somewhere along the nerve pathway, they are not getting sufficient brain signal.
Yes, just like sciatica and other nerve-related injuries, drop foot can also sometimes be down to simple muscular compression on the nerve tissue and not necessarily down to nerve damage or more serious injuries.
Of course, drop foot can also be due to a disk injury, pressing on the peroneal roots of the sciatic nerve - that is also a common consequence that follows or happens simultaneously with sciatica.
But, sometimes nerve compression can be down to tightness in the peroneal muscles, or TFL muscle even, putting pressure on the ITB.
These can cause the superficial aspect of the peroneal nerve to respond by not being able to transfer the signal from the brain all the way into the muscles responsible for dorsiflexion - drop foot is a condition or symptoms of it, where the foot is unable to lift up (dorsiflex).
Such muscles that will be affected here are the anterior tibialis, extensor digitorum, extensor hallucis longus, fibularis longus and brevis.
If the pereonal nerve branches are damaged ore compressed, you may lose the ability to dorsiflex, evert the foot, and extend the digits.
You may also lose sensation in the muscles described above. This leads to another injury that sometimes accompanies drop foot - ski boot syndrome. The resulting neuritis and synovitis may be severe enough to mimic an anterior compartment syndrome.
