circular movement around an axis: dorsiflexion: decreasing the angle of the ankle joint so that the foot bends backwards (upward) plantar flexion: the motion that extends the foot downward toward the ground as when pointing the toes: plant/o: sole of the foot: supinaton: as applied to the hand, the act of turning the palm forward, or up: pronation
Foot drop is a term that refers to a weakening of the muscles that allow for flexing of the ankle and toes. This condition causes the individual to drag the front of the foot while walking. To compensate for this dragging, the patient will bend the knee to lift the foot higher than in a normal stride (high steppage gait). Foot drop typically affects the muscles responsible for moving the ankle and foot upward, specifically the anterior tibialis, extensor halluces longus, and extensor digitorum longus. A quick test for foot drop is to try to walk on the heels. If this is difficult, foot drop may be present.
