The hand in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
The upper extremity was evaluated in 68 symptomatic individuals previously diagnosed as having Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Consistent patterns of motor and sensory involvement were found noted as well as a predictable progression of neuromuscular deficits. Improved understanding of the clinical behaviour of this disorder is necessary to develop better treatment strategies.
