Foot Drop / Ankle Contracture Foot drop, also known as drop foot or ankle contracture, is a muscular, neurological, or anatomical abnormality that causes an inability to properly lift the front part of the foot. The condition may be permanent or temporary, and can result in dragging of the front part of the foot on the ground when walking. Generally, foot drop is unilateral in that it affects only one foot, although certain conditions may result in both feet being affected (bilateral). Learn More
