"How to Keep Walking With MS-Related Foot Drop"
Many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) develop foot drop (sometimes called "drop foot"), a muscle weakness that makes it hard to lift up the foot at the ankle and causes trouble walking. When you walk with foot drop, you may catch your toes on the ground and trip because you can't lift the toes out of the way when swinging the foot during a step, says Michelle Fabian, MD, an assistant professor of neurology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
