Effect of sensorimotor orthoses on rearfoot motion in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: a pilot study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common hereditary peripheral neuropathy, with an incidence of 1 in 2,500 [1]. CMT is characterised by the progressive weakening of the distal muscles and sensory loss of the limbs, particularly around the foot and ankle resulting in balance, walking impairments, cavus foot deformity and lateral instability [2,3]. Clinical anecdotes suggest foot orthoses designed on the ‘sensorimotor’ paradigm proposed by Lothar Jahrling are beneficial at improving lateral stability during gait in patients with CMT. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sensorimotor orthoses on frontal plane ankle motion in people with CMT.

Background Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy and is associated with foot deformity, gait abnormalities and functional impairment. Orthoses are often prescribed for children with CMT, yet the indication and type of prescription is usually based on clinical judgement due to the lack of high quality research in this field. Therefore, the aims of t...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common hereditary neuropathy of the peripheral nervous system with a wide range of severity and age of onset. CMT patients share similar phenotypes which make it often impossible to identify the disease types based on clinical presentation and electrophysiological studies alone. In recent years, novel genetic diagnostic approaches such as whole exom...
