We are supporting the National Foot Drop Society on National Foot Drop Awareness Day on 22nd September.
The National Foot Drop Society (NFDS) was founded in 2018 with the aim of “eliminating unmanaged foot drop” through education to medical professionals and the general public.
A key strategy has been the running of the annual National Foot Drop Awareness Day, during which clinicians and individuals with experience of foot drop share their experiences via social media networks. This year, it is hoped that some private and NHS facilities will hold “live” education events to spread the message that walking problems arising from Foot Drop can be treated or managed. We encourage everyone to post their stories or photographs using #nationalfootdropawarenessday
