N2 - This paper studies the foot-drop problem via a simulation of bio-inspired robotic legs that proposes a corroborated solution for this problem along with other existing ones. A new model representation for the robotic foot, which describes the structure of the ankle-and toe-joints, is addressed. A study case with a foot-drop problem is illustrated and examined in the simulation. A novel procedure of correcting the ankle-joint, affected with foot-drop, using a conventional feedback controller is presented. The results from the simulation can be used to enhance the gait for real-life cases. The advantages of using this simulation to study various cases of foot-drop problems, as well as the significance of using this method are documented.
