Drop foot is further characterized by an inability to point the toes toward the body (dorsiflexion) or move the foot at the ankle inward or outward. Therefore, the normal gait cycle is affected by the drop foot syndrome. The normal gait cycle is as follows: Swing phase (SW): The period of time when the foot is not in contact with the ground.
Steppage gait (high stepping, neuropathic gait) is a form of gait abnormality characterised by foot drop or ankle equinus due to loss of dorsiflexion. [1] The foot hangs with the toes pointing down, causing the toes to scrape the ground while walking, requiring someone to lift the leg higher than normal when walking.
Peroneal nerve paralysis is a paralysis on common fibular nerve that affects patient’s ability to lift the foot at the ankle. The condition was named after Friedrich Albert von Zenker . Peroneal nerve paralysis usually leads to neuromuscular disorder, peroneal nerve injury, or foot drop which can be symptoms of more serious disorders such as ...
dorsiflexion of the hallux with fanning of the remaining phalanges upon soft stimulation of the lateral plantar surface of the foot Bainbridge reflex: Francis Arthur Bainbridge: cardiology: normal physiology: increase in heart rate with increase in circulating blood volume Balbiani rings: Edouard-Gérard Balbiani: genetics: RNA transcription
Toe walking may also be one way of accommodating a separate condition, foot drop. Persistent toe walking in children is also associated with developmental disabilities, such as autism. [7] [8] In a recent study, 68% of children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder report experiencing walking changes.
Pronation is a natural movement of the foot that occurs during foot landing while running or walking. Composed of three cardinal plane components: subtalar eversion, ankle dorsiflexion, and forefoot abduction, [1] [2] these three distinct motions of the foot occur simultaneously during the pronation phase.

Watch Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing. The hearing is expected to begin Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. ET, according to the Armed Services Committee website, which says it will have a live video.
These terms are used to resolve confusion, as technically extension of the joint is dorsiflexion, which could be considered counter-intuitive as the motion reduces the angle between the foot and the leg. [27] Dorsiflexion is where the toes are brought closer to the shin. This decreases the angle between the dorsum of the foot and the leg. [28]
