Living With CMT
Living With Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders, affecting the peripheral nerves that control muscle movement and sensation.
While symptoms and severity vary, many individuals face challenges related to mobility, balance, strength, fatigue, and daily activities.
Common Challenges
- Mobility limitations
- Balance difficulties
- Muscle weakness
- Fatigue
- Accessibility barriers
- Social isolation
- Employment challenges
Living Beyond the Diagnosis
A diagnosis does not define a person’s potential.
Through technology, accessibility, education, advocacy, and community support, individuals living with CMT can pursue meaningful goals, careers, relationships, and independent lives.
