Gait and balance deficits are major impairments for Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A (CMT1A) patients. However, motor rehabilitation is a challenge in CMT1A patients. There are poor evidences of clinical efficacy and low responsive outcome measures. Instrumented assessment (like inertial sensors) might be new tools to detect patient’s changes. A small sample of CMT1A was assessed before and after the rehabilitation period. Traditional and instrumented assessment measures of gait and balance were used. Results shown that only six-minute walking test showed an improvement after rehabilitation, in all patients. The Instrumented Timed Up and Go subtasks duration did not show responsiveness in CMT1A patients.

Abstract
Gait and balance deficits are major impairments for Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A (CMT1A) patients. However, motor rehabilitation is a challenge in CMT1A patients. There are poor evidences of clinical efficacy and low responsive outcome measures. Instrumented assessment (like inertial sensors) might be new tools to detect patient’s changes. A small sample of CMT1A was assessed before and after the rehabilitation period. Traditional and instrumented assessment measures of gait and balance were used. Results shown that only six-minute walking test showed an improvement after rehabilitation, in all patients. The Instrumented Timed Up and Go subtasks duration did not show responsiveness in CMT1A patients.
