   Peroneal nerve paralysis is a paralysis on common fibular nerve that affects patient’s ability to lift the foot at the ankle. The condition was named after Friedrich Albert von Zenker . Peroneal nerve paralysis usually leads to neuromuscular disorder, peroneal nerve injury, or foot drop which can be symptoms of more serious disorders such as ...

3. Cauda equina syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauda_equina_syndrome

   The nerve roots from L4–S4 join in the sacral plexus which affects the sciatic nerve, which travels caudally (toward the feet). Compression, trauma or other damage to this region of the spinal canal can result in cauda equina syndrome. [citation needed] The symptoms may also appear as a temporary side-effect of a sacral extra-dural injection. [9]

4. Pudendal nerve entrapment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pudendal_nerve_entrapment

   [31] [17] Others state that traction neuropathy (nerve damage resulting from stretching) is the most common cause of pudendal neuralgia rather than entrapment. [32] Pudendal neuropathy (nerve damage) is most commonly associated with childbirth (prolonged second stage of labor) and chronic straining (e.g. constipation). [35]

5. Foot drop - Wikipedia

6. Paralysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paralysis

   Paralysis (pl.: paralyses; also known as plegia) is a loss of motor function in one or more muscles. Paralysis can also be accompanied by a loss of feeling (sensory loss) in the affected area if there is sensory damage. In the United States, roughly 1 in 50 people have been diagnosed with some form of permanent or transient paralysis. [1]

7. Nerve compression syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

   Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example).
