Multiple Sclerosis: Overcoming foot drop & running again with MS

Foot drop is one of the most common symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) we work with. Unlike many aids for foot drop, our clients often progress to no longer needing the device whereas many other options are worn permanently. By improving the control over the muscle, at a certain point the device is no longer needed. For Bec, this took us just a few days (you can watch her progress on our social media pages).

One of Bec’s main goals is to be able to run again, so eliminating the drop foot was key to improving her gait, stability and fall risk (she had fallen a few times previously so this was something we needed to work through to help her feel confident again).

The ability to lift the foot and toes can be game-changing when it comes to walking - particularly in reducing the risk (and fear) of tripping or using stairs. For people who haven’t experienced life with a degenerative condition, it can be hard to understand just how exciting the moment you can lift and control your foot again is, but it’s a huge factor in walking independently (and running in Bec’s case!)
