Abstract

Foot drop (FD) can be caused by a variety of diseases and injuries. FD leads to walking difficulties and reduced balance which also can lead to a higher risk of falling. Patient with a stroke often have an equinovarus deformity of the foot together with the DF. There is a need to optimize and standardize the treatment for patients with FD across different medical specialities. Surgical interventions, with goals of producing a balanced functional foot, have been shown to improve the function and quality of life and decrease the use of braces and walking aids in patients with FD after a CVI. In Sweden data regarding FD surgery is collected in the National Quality Registry for Foot and Ankle Surgery (Riksfot), but there is also an ongoing... (More)

Abstract (Swedish)
Droppfot leder till försämrad gångförmåga och balans. Patienter med droppfot beskriver en påtagligt reducerad livskvalitet, och många har behov av såväl gånghjälpmedel som en ortos. Patienter med stroke har ofta en symtomgivande droppfot.Droppfot kan behandlas kirurgiskt med bland annat senförflyttningar med gott resultat. En multicenterstudie pågår där syftet är att utvärdera effekten av kirurgisk behandling av droppfot hos stroke­patienter med målet att skapa en funktionell fot, med minimalt behov av ortoser, och ökad självständighet.
