Physical function and performance measures of children and adolescents with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

This study aimed to verify whether there are differences in foot type, physical function, and performance between children and adolescents with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and their healthy counterparts, and whether an interval of 6 months, from the initial assessment, reveals any significant changes on physical performance and other specific physical measures of the lower limbs. : Participants between 6 and 17 years of age, with CMT (CMT group = 40), were compared to healthy participants (Control group, = 49). Twenty participants with CMT completed the follow-up.

The relationship between performance on the modified star excursion balance test and the knee muscle strength before and after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamic balance of the injured and uninjured limb before and after the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and compare with the control group.

Study Design: Prospective longitudinal.

Setting: Biomechanics laboratory.
