Can neuropathy in my feet cause balance problems?

One of the side effects of neuropathy is foot drop (which causes people to trip over their own feet). I have bilateral foot drop. I wear TurboMed XTern AFOs which are amazing. In addition to foot drop, I have paralysis in my toes which makes my balance horrible. When I wear my XTern AFOs I can walk without using a cane or walker.

Same here, bilateral drop foot, PN toes to shins and poor balance. I've been wearing AFO's for almost 4 years. They go on first thing in the morning and off at bedtime. They tend to become a little annoying after 12 hours but offer huge benefit and have not tripped since wearing them and offers me improved balance. Ed
