dc.description.abstractThe peroneal nerve becomes superficial near the head of the fibula, increasing its exposure to injury mechanisms. There is a need to improve knowledge on the influence of physiotherapy on peripheral nerve injury rehabilitation. The case involves a woman with 47 years who suffered a cut in the region of distal third of right common peroneal nerve. This injury resulted in the loss of sensitivity, strength, foot drop, and neuropathic pain after suturing. These symptoms persisted for six weeks, and she had to undergo surgery six weeks after the accident. Physiotherapy was initiated 1 month after the surgical intervention, incorporating manual therapy, electrical stimulation, functional and aerobic exercise, and patient education. The patient experienced sensory alterations, pain was eliminated, and functional recovery of gait and running was achieved. However, there were residual weaknesses in hallux extensor and dorsiflexors. This case study contributes to the development of peroneal nerve rehabilitation interventions.por
