Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease: Occupational Therapy Demonstration

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is one of 40 diseases covered by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), but unlike muscular dystrophy, in which the defect is in the muscles, CMT is a disorder in which the defect is in the nerves that control the muscles. CMT patients slowly lose normal use of their extremities as nerves degenerate and muscles weaken because the affected nerves no longer stimulate the muscles. Many patients also have some loss of sensory nerve functions. Learn more about Lurie Children's Occupational Therapy program and treatment options: https://www.luriechildrens.org/en/spe...
