Specific conditions and diseases that lead to foot drop are:
Lower back condition (disc herniation/lumbar stenosis/spondylolisthesis/bone fractures)
Parkinson’s disease
Motor neuron diseases
Diabetes
Multiple sclerosis

In a typical case of foot drop, afoot drop brace or splints are provided for stabilization followed by physical therapy. In case the foot drop is caused by a lower back issue, then a specific set of surgical procedures are suggested.
