Foot drop, the result of a common peroneal nerve injury can be managed through the use of an ankle foot orthosis (brace) or a functional electrical stimulation unit (FES unit—an electrical ...

Plain films revealed a bimalleolar ankle fracture to the left lower extremity (Figure 1). The clinical exam is consistent with a foot drop secondary to penetrating trauma to the common peroneal nerve.

The nerves to the muscles that hold up the foot come off the spinal column at L4/L5, travel down the sciatic nerve and then branch off as the peroneal nerve. Foot drop can result from damage at ...

Foot drop—the inability to dorsiflex the toes and ankle—is the most common clinical presentation of nerve injury after hip arthroplasty and represents failure of the peroneal division of the ...

Injury to the peroneal nerve after correction of valgus TKA typically presents with foot drop and catching of the toes when ambulating. Numbness is usually present over the lateral leg and dorsum ...

This uniquely designed ball is crucial for stimulating the deep peroneal nerve in the foot. Made with hardened particles that provide the right pressure, the spike ball allows users to perform the ...

Using a custom-wired electrode, Mario Romero-Ortega, Cullen Endowed Professor of biomedical engineering, previously reported that deep peroneal nerve stimulation (DPNS) elicits an acute reduction ...

A recent study published in Frontiers in Neuroscience highlighted deep nerve stimulation’s ability to lower blood pressure. The University of Houston researchers found that systolic blood pressure can ...

The peroneal nerve supplies both sensation and movement to the outside of your lower leg and the top of your foot. When it’s compressed, it becomes inflamed, which causes the symptoms of a ...
