Paresis of the peroneal nerve is one of the most common complications of peripheral nerves.
The peroneal nerve is located very close to the surface, making it susceptible to injury and damage.
The term 'paresis' denotes weakness in muscle function, as opposed to paralysis, which signifies the loss of function in one or more muscles.
The application of physical therapy is crucial in treating peroneal nerve paresis.
Timely implementation of treatment helps protect the muscles responsible for lifting the foot from atrophy.
PhysioNova is a physiotherapy center that successfully conducts the rehabilitation of the injured peroneal nerve.
Our innovative treatment protocol for peroneal nerve paresis enables effective treatment and a significantly faster patient recovery.
The peroneal nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve that wraps around the back of the knee to the front of the shin.
Nerve injury can occur due to various reasons, including:
- Compression of the nerve root due to conditions like disc herniation, spondylolisthesis, or different adhesions.
- Post-surgery on the hip, pelvis, or knee.
- Chronic inflammation.
- Mechanical pressure around the knee area.
- As a result of sports injuries.
- Prolonged sitting with crossed legs or squatting.
- Complications during childbirth.
- Sudden weight loss.
It is important to recognize these causes to take appropriate steps in the prevention and treatment of peroneal nerve injuries.
Damage to the peroneal nerve can cause various symptoms indicating paresis. Key symptoms include:
- Muscle Weakness: Reduced strength in muscles controlled by the peroneal nerve, especially in the muscles that lift the foot.
- Difficulty Lifting the Foot: Difficulty in raising the front part of the foot, which may result in scraping or dragging the foot.
- Loss of Sensation: Reduced or lost sensation in the area covered by the peroneal nerve.
- Tingling or Numbness: Sensation of tingling or numbness in the legs and feet.
- Walking Difficulties: Unsteady gait or altered walking pattern.
If you notice these symptoms, it is important to seek medical assistance for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Before conducting any therapeutic procedure, it is necessary to undergo a specialist examination with a physiatrist in our spinal centre.
During the specialist examination, you will discuss your symptoms and complaints with Dr. Jelena Kluz Đurđević, a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
Based on relevant documentation and a physiatric examination, the extent of the damage will be determined, and an official diagnosis will be made.
After the examination, the doctor will propose the exact treatment protocol and agree with you on the commencement of therapy.
