Charcot-Marie-Thooth disease (CMT) causes a deterioration of the peripheral nerves which control sensory information and muscle function in the hands, forearms, lower legs and feet. This can lead to foot bone abnormalities such as high arches and hammer toes, foot drop walking gait, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), muscle cramping, problems with balance and hand function, and the loss of some normal reflexes. Written by members of the CMT support group, this book looks at genetic and medical issues; living with CMT; and practical issues.
