Foot drop and reduced foot clearance can increase the risk of tripping and falls during walking.
In this video, I demonstrate two simple Theraband-assisted techniques:
✅ Theraband attached from walker to the affected foot to assist swing phase
✅ Cross-body Theraband setup to help facilitate foot clearance and improve gait mechanics
These strategies can provide additional assistance during gait training while encouraging a more natural walking pattern.
Always consult with your physical therapist to determine if these techniques are appropriate for your specific condition.
