Cerebral Infarction Producing Sudden Isolated Foot Drop
Foot drop usually results from lesions affecting the peripheral neural pathway related to dorsiflexor muscles, especially the peroneal nerve. Although a central nervous system lesion is suspected when there is a lack of clinical evidence for a lower motor neuron lesion, such cases are extremely rare. We describe a patient with sudden isolated foot drop caused by a small acute cortical infarctio...
متن کاملFoot drop
Figure 1: Course of the common, deep (blue) and superficial peroneal nerve, sites of stimulation for motor nerve conduction studies are shown by green discs. Figure 1 Textbooks of neurology are just like cookery or gardening books. It is all so easy on paper. With a good working knowledge of neurological anatomy, it seems, almost any problem can be precisely localised. A couple of of hours yomp...

متن کاملCerebral Infarction Presenting with Unilateral Isolated Foot Drop
Weakness of the dorsiflexor muscles of the ankle or toe, referred to as foot drop, is a relatively common presentation. In most cases, foot drop is caused by a lower motor neuron disease such as peroneal peripheral neuropathy, L4-5 radiculopathic sciatic neuropathy, or polyneuropathy. Although upper motor neuron lesions can present as foot drop, the incidence is very rare. Here, we report an ex...
متن کاملAn Implantable Foot Drop Stimulator
A novel partially implantable system for correction of foot drop has been developed and is being tested in three volunteer subjects. The system consists of a two-channel implantable stimulator, a multi-polar nerve cuff electrode implanted on the peroneal nerve proximal to the knee, and an external system including battery, control and telemetry unit and a heel switch. Although the work is still...
