Non-Pharmacological Management of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease: A Case Report
Abstract
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a rare, genetic, slowly progressive disorder that affects nerve conduction, particularly in the limbs and, therefore, the muscles. Phenotypes vary, but the impact on quality of life is always present. CMT1A is the most prevalent type. There is no pharmacological cure, so physiotherapy is essential, but nutritional and exercise aspects are rarely considered. In this case report, we demonstrate how, even in this condition, effective results can be achieved with strength training if properly supervised, coordinated with physiotherapy, and combined with an appropriate nutritional plan.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
