Foot Drop Treatment Market Analysis
The Global Foot Drop Treatment Market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period.
COVID-19 has uplifted the market studied in a way that ensures a long-term reliance of consumers on bone and joint health supplements. As hospitals are overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients, elective surgeries were canceled or indefinitely delayed.

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) survey, osteoporosis patients continued appointments with doctors through various modes in COVID-19: 33% used telephone consultations, 21% used video consultations, 26% used face-to-face appointments, 18% used urgent 'in-person visits, and 3% used other modalities such as instant messaging or attendance for parenteral therapies. As a result, during major lockdowns, the market for foot drop treatment remained mostly unaffected.

Thus the increase in musculoskeletal disorders worldwide requires the treatment of these disorders. Thus, the market is expected to see a surge over the forecast period.

Ankle motor performance was measured, and great accuracy in ankle trajectories was observed. Hence, the new emerging treatment options are expected to drive the global foot drop treatment market in the forecast period.
