First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple injection of sugar water (D5W) can reliably bring out a hidden sign of muscle strength in people with drop foot. Researchers will inject the fluid under the skin and check muscle strength a few minutes later. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors detect subtle weakness in the toe-lift muscle.
