Discover the complexities of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and transform your understanding of this multifaceted condition. Join us on CMT Simplified as we uncover insights from the Global Registry for Inherited Neuropathies (GRIN) about the physical symptoms like foot drop and balance issues, as well as the emotional and social challenges faced by those living with CMT. We'll explore the emotional hurdles such as depression and anxiety that many grapple with, along with the diverse mobility aids that empower individuals with CMT to maintain their independence.

We emphasize the importance of a holistic approach in managing CMT, addressing both physical and emotional needs. Hear about the exciting 2025 CMT Summit in Nashville, offering workshops on adaptive fashion, nutrition, and mental health, as well as a groundbreaking study using Biosensics wearables to improve mobility data collection. With resources like the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation's symptom checklist, the discussion highlights the empowering role of community support in enhancing the lives of those affected by CMT.
