Thigh weakness/foot drop after spine surgery

Hi Jennifer and all,
Yesterday I had my last PT appointment for awhile. A woman came in with foot drop. I talked with her and she gave me some good info. First, she had on a brace that is completely different than mine and seems like a better choice. She said it's been a gamechanger for her. She said there is a "club" for people with footdrop. I hope I can mention Turbomed. There are a number of places on Facebook with info from others with footdrop. Take from them what makes sense to you. I am loving learning from it. It's similar to this site but just for footdrop. I hope this helps someone! I think it's a God moment thst she came in when she did!

@beedom I’m glad you found helpful information from another patient. You can share that information here as it is helpful health information based on user experience and is welcome. Connect is monitored for spam and if a company started posting advertisements, it would go against the community standards and the post would be removed. You may post a website with useful information to the foot brace or a patient forum or user group similar to Connect. I don’t speak for Mayo officially because I am a volunteer. My understanding is that Mayo considers patients to be good sources of knowledge about their conditions and the goal is to share this information for education and support of others.
