Drop and Drag helps for me: 1. Walk with a cane........leaning forward that extra little bit seems to help the movement of my feet for a while longer than with no cane. 2. an AFO (ankle foot support) custom made molded synthetic product fits inside shoe and extends about 12 inches up on leg, flexible ankle......functions as a brace....forces the heel down first. I can walk much farther with the AFO than any other way.............Cost about $150-$400 and paid by Mutually Preferred (Mutual of Omaha) and Blue Cross/Blue SHield. Prescribed by orthopedic or physical therapist.........fitted at most places that fit orthotics, braces, etc. Rita Weeks
