I have seen an MS patient with foot drop of her right foot. Statically, she is able to dorsiflex, but when she walks, her foot planter flexes and causes the toe drag. So it seems that her gastrocnemius is firing at the wrong time of her gait cycle and will not allow her foot to dorsiflex during the swing phase. Has anyone seen this and if so, how did you address the foot drop?
