How should peroneal nerve injury with foot drop be rehabilitated after a knee injury?

Doctor’s answer

It's important to quickly determine the location and extent of nerve damage and rule out other causes such as lumbar spine issues. Treatment may include ankle-foot orthoses, joint mobility, and gait training to aid walking and reduce tripping. Severe compression or structural damage may require nerve decompression, repair, or tendon transfer surgery.
