Hi, I suffer from a neurological disease (CMT disease) and one of my symptoms is foot drop. I’ve tried all kinds of braces to help walk but find them all uncomfortable. I was wondering if getting my ankle fused would help with my foot drop and keep my foot lifted to walk properly without a brace? I also wanted to know about getting my big toe “pinned” because my toe also drops and is a problem when walking. Would pinning it keep it from dropping? Thanks.
