Diagnosis from testing due to Foot Drop... Peroneal Nerve Palsy.

Definition
Peroneal nerve palsy is a disorder caused by damage to the peroneal nerve, characterized by loss of movement or sensation in the foot and leg.

The peroneal nerve is a branching of the sciatic nerve, which supplies movement and sensation to the lower leg, foot and toes. Common peroneal nerve dysfunction is a type of peripheral neuropathy (damage to nerves outside the brain or spinal cord).
