Exercise Programs for Clients with CMT Webinar
Children and adults with neuropathy face challenges when trying to engage in regular sport and exercise. Special considerations for weakness, fatigue, and sensory loss faced by these patients must be considered when designing exercise programs for people Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and related neuropathies. An increasing number of children seen in our management clinics are interested in seeing Exercise Physiologists to assist with their exercise regime. Thus, we feel it is important for Exercise Physiologists working with patients with CMT and related neuropathies to understand the specific challenges faced by patients and the evidence on safety and efficacy of different forms of exercise for this population.
