Correlation Between Clinical and Electrophysiological Phenotypes in a Population of Patients With Neuropathy Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 1A

Completed
Conditions
Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 1A Neuropathy
Registration Number
NCT01750710
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Brief Summary

This exploratory cross-sectional study proposes, firstly, to objectify in a population of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT 1A)if there is a correlation between the recording of electrical parameters and upper limb muscle strength of the thigh and in a second step, to seek a relationship between the measured parameters.

Detailed Description

Patients suffering from CMT 1A neuropathy will be invited to go through a series of tests such as:

* Electromyography

* Isokinetic test

* Podiatric assessment

* Functional evaluations: Hand dexterity, limbs muscles strength

* Quality of life assessment with questionnaires
