This protocol applies to peroneal neuropathy presenting as isolated superficial peroneal nerve palsy — a presentation in which involvement is confined to the superficial branch of the peroneal nerve, producing selective weakness of the foot evertors.
In this specific presentation, management focuses on compensating mechanically for the functional deficit caused by evertor weakness. A targeted orthotic intervention is a key component of the structured approach.
The complete protocol details the specific device, selection criteria, and application — access it below.

If the patient has isolated superficial peroneal nerve palsy, he may benefit from a shoe insert with a lateral wedge to prevent supination of the foot from weakness of the evertors.
