From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steppage gait (high stepping, neuropathic gait) is a form of gait abnormality characterised by foot drop or ankle equinus due to loss of dorsiflexion.[1] The foot hangs with the toes pointing down, causing the toes to scrape the ground while walking, requiring someone to lift the leg higher than normal when walking.[2][3][4]
Foot drop can be caused by damage to the deep fibular nerve.[5]
