Jisho says that 足を引きずる means 'to limp'. My good paper dictionary seems to
suggest that it means 'to drag one's feet' due to tiredness, for example. What
range of meanings does 足を引きずる actually encompass:

  1. to limp e.g. due to an injury?
  2. to drag one's feet due to tiredness?
  3. to drag one's feet due to a reluctance to do something e.g. "he dragged his feet about going to the dentist"?
  4. anything else?

Meaning of 足を引きずる
To me, 足を引きずる is always physically dragging one's feet. So it could be 1 or 2
or any other reason that causes the person to drag their feet in the literal
sense.

For 3, a similar expression that means starting something with reluctance in a
figurative way is
