Taking the Next Step With Confidence: Navigating Foot Drop and Mobility with MS – Episode 187 – Transcript

In this episode, we are joined by physical therapist Samantha Balistreri and orthotist Spencer Van Wagenen to break down what foot drop is, what devices like AFOs and FES can do for you. Then we will deep dive into how PTs and orthotists work together to find the right support—without sacrificing style or independence.

From early signs to energy-saving tips, supportive shoes and where to get them, this episode is full of practical guidance, encouragement to advocate for your mobility and explaining that using a support is not giving up.
