The peroneal nerve is a critical branch of the sciatic nerve, responsible for both motor and sensory functions in the lower leg and foot. It controls the muscles that lift the foot and provides sensation to the outer portion of the lower leg and the top of the foot. When this nerve sustains damage, it can lead to significant functional impairment, including foot drop, numbness, and chronic pain.

Demyelination and Neuropathy

Demyelination is a serious neurological condition in which the myelin sheath—the protective covering around nerves—becomes damaged, leading to disrupted nerve signal transmission. This process plays a key role in many neuropathic conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS), Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Demyelination contributes to muscle weakness, loss of sensation, pain, and impaired coordination.
