Walking aids
Does anyone have advice on walking aids, I’ve got mild drop foot but unless my husband fetches me I trolley, I don’t really go out. Waiting to be contacted by ms nurse because of Covid it’s been really slow.

What has helped me for years, (using a quad cane.) Helps maintain balance and to walk better than a "plain old cane."
Hello, I suffer with foot drop too. It's progressive though. I don't have it when I wake up but as the day goes on it gets worse. When it's bad I feel quite unsteady on my feet as my whole leg goes weak. If I rest for a while it gets better too. I bought a pair of hoka clifton 5 running shoes and they are great. It still comes on but I can go much further and the recovery is quicker. They have a zero drop sole which is why they help - the science is beyond me but they really do help.
