Less commonly, foot dystonia may mimic foot drop, as occurs with weakness of the dorsiflexors muscles, resulting in a pseudo foot drop. This has rarely been reported in the literature and has been poorly recognized, often leading to misdiagnosis and unnecessary investigations and treatment. We report 5 patients with dystonic pseudo foot drop, one of them diagnosed with early\u2010onset\n PD<\/jats:styled-content>\n , 2 with sporadic\n PD<\/jats:styled-content>\n , and 2 with dystonia. Despite the steppage gait, their physical exam revealed normal strength, and no other explanation for a \u201cfoot drop\u201d was found. It is important to recognize this phenomenology, which can be a clue to the diagnosis of early\u2010onset\n PD<\/jats:styled-content>\n , and may be responsive to levodopa in selected patients.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mdc3.12174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,9]],"date-time":"2015-05-09T07:27:39Z","timestamp":1431156459000},"page":"295-298","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Dystonic Pseudo Foot Drop"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"2","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1643-9117","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camila C.","family":"Aquino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Morton and Gloria Shulman Movement Disorders Center and the Edmond J.
