Inability to dorsiflex the foot resulting in gait difficulties, seen with paralysis of anterior muscles of the leg.
Inability to lift or elevate the foot by dorsiflexion at the ankle. This can be caused by problems affecting the peroneal nerve, the sciatic nerve or the lumbosacral spinal nerves.
condition relating to the inability to properly move the foot when walking; failure to fully lift the toes of the foot
Plantar flexion of the foot due to weakness or paralysis of the muscles of lower leg.

Plantar flexed posture of the foot caused by paralysis or weakness of the ankle ait Training Instruction in walking, with or without equipment.
Foot drop is a deficit in turning the ankle and toes upward (dorsiflexion). Conditions leading footdrop may be neurologic, muscular, and anatomic in origin, and often there is significant overlap.
