It is also sad the the Bureaucrats here in NC do not see my son with Spina Bifida an developmentally delayed. He was denied entrance into a program for the mentally retarded and developmentally delayed. He cannot walk, his hips are not properly formed and he has many other issues - but he is the smartest kid in his class.
Can you use AFO braces? They are ugly but the do work for me

I too have drop foot caused by strokes. I have an AFO & walk with a quad cane. I agree that medicare should get with the times.
shawnst: I believe i iIt s sad that when I find out what my problem has been for years is is caled drop-foot!! And the only thing to fix drop-foot is a walkaide, which Medicare has not yet approved, and probably will not for years!!!!!

That's outrageous! Drop foot is not fun.

i went to my podiatrist and he gave me a script went a (don't remember the name of the specialist) one that makes braces) specialist and they made a brace for me for my drop foot and medicare paid for it
While drop foot can be caused by many issues, I know that my Dad was able to largely correct it through rigorous back exercises and staying in good shape. He did not deal with this issue until he was faced with major back surgery, which scared him into exercising regulary for the first time in his life.
Do you have a diagnosis of what caused your drop foot?
Hang in there!
what is the product to fix the problem?
