Hi there, wondering if I should be worried or your thoughts on this. I am awaiting an EMG and doing physio.
approx 7 months ago I noticed when I walk for about 30 minutes I start to get a “foot slap” only happens if I do not take breaks and walk fast the entire time, I can make it the rest of the way home with my foot slapping down and it resolves after resting for a short period. I haven’t tested strength after my walk but normally I can walk on my heels, toes and balance on one foot. Could this be a early sign of ALS?
