The Prognosis for Foot Drop 

The prognosis for foot drop depends on the cause. Foot drop caused by trauma or nerve damage usually shows partial or even complete recovery.

For progressive neurological disorders, foot drop will be a symptom that is likely to continue as a lifelong disability, but it will not shorten life expectancy. Often the treatment will change; alternative orthotic solutions are usually applied for changing stages of the condition.
