Clinching the cause: A review of foot drop secondary to lumbar degenerative diseases.
Journal of the Neurological Sciences 2018 December 16
Foot drop is defined as weakness on dorsiflexion of the foot. The top two most common etiologies for foot drop include lumbar degenerative disease and common peroneal nerve injury. This review provides "updates" on understanding the lumbar etiologies of foot drop. Since the publication of "Preoperative motor strength and time to surgery are the most important predictors of improvement in foot drop due to degenerative lumbar disease" in the Journal of Neurological Sciences, three cohort studies have been published on spinal causes of foot drop. Classification, clinical features, diagnosis, and pathogenesis that may 'clinch' the cause of foot drop are discussed in the context of these recent publications.
