Introduction
[edit | edit source]

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

Specific Foot Conditions[edit | edit source]

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

The Foot in Hemiplegia & Diplegia[edit | edit source]

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

Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]

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.

Frequently there is equinus seen in the stance phase because of spasticity and/or
contracture of the gastroc-soleus muscles.
