Possible Causes or risk factors

- The most common cause of foot drop is peroneal / fibular nerve injury or compression – a branch of the sciatic nerve, that supplies movement and sensation to the lower leg, foot, and toes.
- Pinched nerve in the spine.
- Not moving for a long time e.g., due to chronic bed-bound diseases.
- Lumbar radiculopathy.
- Weakness or paralysis of the muscles involved in lifting the front part of the foot.
- Sports injuries
- A slipped disc in the spine
- Kneeling or squatting for long periods of time in certain jobs like as picking strawberries or laying floor tile — can result in foot drop.

- Various forms of muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness.
- Certain neurologic disorders, such as polio or Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
- Brain and spinal cord disorders e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis etc.
- Activities that compress nerves can increase the risk of foot drop e.g., habitually crosslegs can compress the peroneal nerve on their uppermost leg.
- Plaster casts that enclose the ankle and end just below the knee can exert pressure on the peroneal nerve.
