Introduction

Any changes in neurological control of the lower limb are likely to result in altered positioning and weight-bearing in the foot.

There are specific conditions which have a direct effect on the ankle and foot mechanism, which each have a separate Physiopedia page:

• Pes Cavus
• Pes Valgus
• Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
• Morton's Neuroma
• Diabetic Neuropathy
  

This section will cover the presentations seen in hemiplegia (from both Stroke and Cerebral Palsy) as well as diplegia.

Clinical Presentation

Drop Foot is a frequent consequence of neurogical disturbance  due to inability to selectively control the ankle dorsiflexors during the swing phase of the gait cycle.
