Foot Drop is a medical term for difficulty lifting the foot at the ankle. This is a condition caused by weakness or paralysis of the muscles involved in flexing the ankle and toes, which causes a person to drag the toe of the shoe on the ground or slap the foot on the floor while walking.

"Extended time spent in a wheelchair causes the body to stiffen and stay in the shape of the chair.  I had to work extremely hard exercising and stretching  to reverse the condition so that when my muscles were strong enough for me to walk again, my heels would be able  touch the floor. And I would not walk hunched over with legs bent ." -The Survivor Diva, Angela
