Overview
Foot drop can present in a range of clinical settings and isn't just a neurological issue. For physiotherapists working in MSK and private practice, recognising the possible causes, carrying out an effective assessment and understanding the available management options can play an important role in supporting patients.
Following the successful Management of Foot Drop event held at Physiofunction, this webinar provides an opportunity to explore the topic in more detail with Claire Everett from the Physiofunction team.
Claire will explore what foot drop is, how it may present and the different approaches to assessment and treatment.
