Course Description
Foot drop is a debilitating condition characterized by weakness or paralysis of the muscles responsible for ankle dorsiflexion, leading to altered gait mechanics, increased fall risk, and significant functional limitations. It can result from a variety of neurological and musculoskeletal causes, including peroneal nerve injury, lumbar spine pathology, and systemic conditions.
In this webinar, Dr. Anthony Lombardi provides a clear, clinically applicable breakdown of foot drop—from underlying pathophysiology and contributing risk factors to the key anatomical structures involved. He then walks through a structured assessment process, including muscle testing, cervical spine range of motion, and targeted orthopedic testing to identify the true driver of dysfunction.
This webinar is designed to give practitioners a practical, repeatable system they can immediately apply in clinical practice to improve outcomes in patients presenting with foot drop.
Course Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify the underlying causes and pathophysiology of foot drop, including key neurological and musculoskeletal contributors.
- Perform a structured assessment for foot drop, incorporating muscle testing, cervical spine evaluation, and relevant orthopedic tests to determine the primary driver of dysfunction.
- Apply manual soft tissue techniques, including sciatic nerve and cutaneous nerve release, to address contributing restrictions.
- Implement an integrated treatment approach using electroacupuncture and motor point needling to improve neuromuscular activation and clinical outcomes.
