Unilateral peroneal paralysis after squat exercise
Abstract
Peroneal nerve
entrapment neuropathy is the most common entrapment neuropathy in the lower
extremity. Peroneal nerve may be damaged while passing over the upper neck of
fibula or the tunnel shaped space on the origin of peroneus longus muscles. As a result of this neuropathy, walking
difficulties and drop-foot secondary to muscle weakness may develop in
patients. In this article; clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment
planning of a patient diagnosed drop-foot after squatting exercise were
discussed.
