Managing Foot drop

    Hi all

    I've recently had a period of severe back pain which required surgery. It looks like I've been left with permanent foot drop!

    I will most likely need a brace of some sort to help me with walking etc

    Has anyone any recommendations on what type, brand etc works best?

    How do people manage with driving, it's my right foot which has been affected which leaves it worse for driving?

    Many thanks for any help
