How do you manage your drop foot.
Drop foot and a stiff leg are my prominent symptoms. I want to avoid a cane as long as possible. Any suggestions or tips.

Problem with drop foot can be solved with good acupuncture
I use afo dme leg braces for my right foot drop. With pt exercises and the braces, it’s help me walk farther over time. Plus I still use a cane. If ur wearing long pants no one sees the braces.. I don’t know what your issue is with a cane but I have been using a cane since I was 42. My thought has been who cares how I look as long as I am not eating dirty from a fall. We don’t bounce back like we used to.
