Abstract:Background: Subjects with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease show hands impairment which is a relevant problem affecting the quality of life. This symptom is related to muscle weakness and reduced motor coordination of the upper limb. However, most studies focus on lower limb impairment, therefore the investigation of upper limb disability is necessary to identify biomarkers able to monitor disease-specific features and to tailor rehabilitation. Objective: This study aimed at characterizing upper limb muscle co… Show more
