Excessive dorsiflexion in swing phase as a substitute for dropfoot? When
I read that I thought, surely there is a better way to say it. But if there
is, I can't think of it. No wonder dropfoot has stuck.
But, frankly, I'd rather be stuck with dropfoot than with cockup. Well,
the term, I mean!
If anyone can think of a good substitute phrase for cock-up splint, I'd
love to put it into use. A good humored patient said, as he handed me his
prescription for a cock-up splint, Why didn't he just prescribe Viagra?
:-)
Best to all this holiday season.
