[On the vocational prognoses of patients with peroneal muscular atrophy (author's transl)].
Examined were 43 patients and 27 relatives all suffering from a hypertrophic type of peroneal muscular atrophy. Owing to foot deformities and a slowing of the nerve conduction velocity a diagnosis was already possible in their childhoods in the majority of cases. Although, after the 20th year of age, the pareses of the legs progress only slowly, considerable pareses of the small hand muscles can still develop in adults. With adequate counselling, rehabilitation measures should become necessary only in rare cases, or, if a kypho-scoliosis has already developed in childhood (10% of our cases).
