Has Anyone Ever Developed Foot Drop
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone developed foot drop. It is the dropping of the front of the foot making you tend to trip.

There's a wonderful brace that you can get at most surgical supply store or on line. I used one for years and they are fantastic! Ii only stopped using it after I was diagnosed and medicated. It went away then. Here's the link..http://www.sourceortho.net/leaf-spring-foot-dro...
Good luck!

I ordered one, in the mail. I have a very fancy one my insurance paid for but it is heavy and hard to drive a car with it on. Also tried a Velcro brace but my foot still drops. Caught my big toe the other day, put me on the floor.

Check to see if Medicare will pay for it before you buy it.

By the way---insurance will pay for it if you get a prescription for it.
