Article

The only article I know of dealing with physical therapy and CMT is by Dr. Carol Oatis. The article is titled "Conservative Management of the Functional Manifestations of CMT Disease". It is published in "CMT Disorders - Pathophysiology, Molecular Genetics and Therapy", Alan R. Liss, Inc, 1990. The article was reprinted in The CMTA Report Vol. 5 No. 2, Spring 1990. Also, the CMTA just sponsored a very small grant to Dr. Oatis (see the CMTA announce web page).

There are no articles on CMT and physical therapy listed in MEDLINE.
