Walking with foot drop can become an arduous task. In addition to the efforts that must be made to walk, this deficit often leads to frequent falls. One way to prevent them is to use the disability certificate in reserved parking areas.
In addition to this motor problem, people affected by MS may have other symptoms that affect their mobility. Spasticity, numbness, balance problems or fatigue can affect the ability to walk. For this reason, it is necessary to consult a neurologist and a physiotherapist about the best therapeutic option in each case.

Peroneal nerve drop foot
If due to your neurological injury you have a clubfoot, here are some tips so that you can prevent capsular retractions, joint stiffness and muscle shortening. In case you already have them, it will be a matter of dedicating more time, but following these recommendations you could improve the contact of your foot with the ground and get better mobility for your foot.
As you may already know, due to your joint misalignment, when you rest your foot while standing or walking, a large part of your body weight falls on the toe and on the lateral part of the foot. So what you need to work on is heel and inner heel support.
If you have difficulties to perform these exercises do not hesitate to contact the physiotherapists of the Nerorehabilitation Clinic for an assessment and we can help you in performing them.

Muchos de los pies planos son flexibles y el arco sólo se observa cuando la persona se apoya en los dedos de los pies, en cambio el pie plano rígido que produce dolor puede estar asociado a otras enfermedades y el arco no se observa.
El tratamiento del pie plano en el niño es diferente en el adulto. En el niño se aprovecha y se utiliza una serie de elementos que formarán (entrenan) sus pies adecuadamente, como la ortesis o plantillas (plantilla) y los zapatos ortopédicos acompañados de un plan de ejercicios adecuados (años fiscales).
En el adulto los huesos ya están formados (entrenados) y en el pie plano son defectuosos, por lo que a menudo se utilizan las plantillas ortopédicas (bastón) para aquellos que trabajan parados o recorren largas distancias. Otra forma es la quirúrgica.
