PMID: 19996836<\/p>\n<p>Abstract:<\/p>\n<p>Compression is the most common cause of damage to the fibular head, the site of most peroneal nerve injuries which cause <span class=\"disease\" title=\"Disease\">foot drop<\/span>. Compression injuries can be caused by prolonged immobility and habitual leg-crossing. A review of the literature does not reveal the existence of a nationwide study that investigates the prevalence of compression-caused <span class=\"disease\" title=\"Disease\">foot drop<\/span>, nor does the literature contain encouragement to arrange medical practices to prevent its occurrence (e.g., soft substrates for sitting, frequent reminders for the patient to uncross the legs). Treatments for <span class=\"disease\" title=\"Disease\">foot drop<\/span> do not appear to be strongly scientifically based and they do not incorporate the use of sensory integration, specifically use of the visual sense, during rehabilitation. Finally, compression-caused\u00a0<span class=\"disease\" title=\"Disease\">foot drop<\/span> may be preventable, a conclusion that could ultimately have important implications in the context of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr.\u00a0Su Boatright was recently identified as first in a list of the top 20 papers in its field published since 2010.
