I'm not sure it's exactly the same thing but many members have commented about foot drop and falling. Foot orthotics have helped some members. Here's a link that shows the discussions and comments if you want to read through some of them - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/

Foot drop is a bit different from toe drag. But both very important to understand.

Toe drag is more like you just don’t have the energy to pick your foot up high enough to not trip.

Foot drop is a mechanical function of part of the leg not working.
