Innovative shoe for foot drop
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of shoe designed to help people who have foot drop (when you can't lift the front part of your foot) walk more easily. If you've had foot drop for 6 months or more, this trial may help improve your walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
