A solid ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) or foot-up splint can be used to keep the foot in plantar-grade. These work to increase the amount of dorsiflexion the foot is held in during gait and can prevent falls as the toes do not get caught on the floor. 🔶Exercise Physiotherapy interventions normally are focused on graded exercises to encourage active dorsiflexion and muscle recruitment. These exercises have been shown to prevent atrophy and speed up recovery but more research is needed. In neurologically impaired patients such as Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease improved with strengthening exercises to tibialis anterior, however, other neurological diseases like muscular dystrophy strength training was not found to be effective at reducing the foot drop. Preventing contractures and stiffness is also an important maintenance goal of physiotherapy as this is likely in neurological disease patients more so than after trauma to the knee. Electro-stimulation of the affected muscle groups has also been shown to improve recovery times. 📌Surgery Direct repair of the common peroneal nerve is possible for surgical intervention however, this has been shown to have poor outcomes with residual foot drop leading to further surgery. In extreme cases tibialis posterior can be transposed to regain active dorsiflexion by using the tendon not innervated by the common peroneal nerve, this surgery has been shown to be more successful than nerve repair.
