But few cases of foot drop caused by CPN have been reported. Especially case of sensory disoder`s improvement by themographic picture is very few. We report three patients with foot drop.
Methods :There are three patients diagnosed by CPN. We diagnosed them with nerve conduction studies(NCS) and electromyography(EMG). We treated them conservative maneuver as to oriental medical method. And we measured range of movement of ankle joint, distance of from a big toe to the ground and thermographic picture of both leg.
