30 Stroke Research Papers
A stroke occurs when clots form in the brain’s blood vessels blocking blood flow to the brain. This causes the paralysis of much of the body.
As a result, approximately 61-80% of the body weight has to shift to the unaffected lower extremity, leading to an asymmetrical standing position.
This type of position causes a decrease in balance and a major disruption in the ability to walk.Foot Drop is when weakness or damage to the common fibular nerve, or paralysis of the muscles causes the dropping of the forefoot.
As a result, many stroke patients cannot lift the front part of the foot, and so their toes drag across the ground as they walk.
30 stroke patients with foot drop were selected randomly for this study. All patients met the criteria
