Foot Drop

This is a general term used to describe difficulty lifting the foot up from the ankle, which results in catching the toes and tripping. Consequently, there is a need to lift the leg higher from the hip during walking which can make walking effortful and unsteady.

A foot drop stimulator is an electrical device used to stimulate specific muscles in the lower leg to lift the foot when walking. This helps to gain a more normal walking pattern, improve walking speed, balance and reduce trips and falls.

I started using NTRehab in June 2017 and I was assigned to a physiotherapist, Joanne, who has been incredible towards helping me achieve my goals. I had a Stroke which left me with a foot drop on the left side and using Jo twice a week I have regained a lot of strength and confidence and we are still working hard together to achieve my goals.

My mom felt very comfortable receiving treatment from Maria. As Mom is 93 and arthritic she welcomed the relief to her neck. Maria chatted to her and gave good ongoing exercise advice

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say how impressed I am with Abhi. All your physio's are great & work brilliantly with our residents but for me Abhi has that special something, he comes across as extremely competent, knowledgeable & the residents adore him. I have great confidence in him, he seems to really understand the residents needs & nothing is ever too much trouble for him. I know that if I'm concerned about anyone he will listen to me & will find a way in which to help. I always believe in credit where its due & hope its helpful to receive feedback from the likes of me who use your service. Thank you to you & your great team of physio's, they really do improve the well-being of our residents & for that I'm very grateful.

Neuro Therapy is top of the list of needs after a stroke as it is essential to help body and mind to recover. We were lucky to find Jane, (NT Rehab UK Ltd) who, as a qualified Neuro Therapist, always has time to explain the reasons behind the exercises she uses, and the positive attitude required to gain full advantage. This she does with a patient, friendly, cheerful approach backed by a wealth of experience. She also keeps us up to date with the latest available aids and changes in therapeutic thinking. Every stroke victim needs a ‘Jane’.

When my husband had a stroke four years ago, we did not know where to go for help. We were very lucky indeed to find NT Rehab (UK) Ltd. They have been supportive and helpful, always finding new ways to adapt the physio to my husband's needs. They are punctual, kind and friendly and have continued to give us information and advice. We are so very grateful for all the hard work they do for us.
