Effects of Self-Selected Exercise on Strength in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Subtypes.

CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary results suggest that self-directed exercise is associated with greater strength in CMT patients of both CMT1 and CMT2 subtypes. Self-directed exercise may be a convenient, sustainable, and effective method of improving strength and decreasing disability in this population. Future research should explore the type of exercise prescription that best addresses the needs of the CMT population. PMID: 28669366 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
