RESOURCES FOR MANAGING CMT
Information to help manage your CMT
A Guide to Physical and Occupational Therapy for CMT
We thank the CMTA USA for their permission to use this publication in Australia.
Under the leadership of world-class CMT clinicians, including Professor Joshua Burns from Australia, CMTA USA sponsored a workshop and brought together physical and occupational therapists from CMTA USA’s Centres of Excellence to collaborate on a guide to help therapists better understand and manage CMT.
They created this comprehensive guide.
This first-of-its-kind publication outlines the assessment and care of people with CMT. As CMT manifests so differently from person to person, this guide, based on research, experience and patient input, will optimise collaboration between physical and/or occupational therapists and patients, helping ensure the best possible care for specific CMT management.
Hard copy available to order.
