Exercise and Physical Therapy for Inherited Neuropathies: Strength

After attending the CMTA Physical Therapy Workshop in late 2017, CMTA Board Member Steve O’Donnell realized the tremendous need for a series of CMT physical therapy-centered exercise videos. As an avid and committed workout enthusiast, Steve has seen first-hand the crucial role fitness plays in slowing the progression of CMT symptoms.
Steve has partnered with renowned Physical Therapist/Neurologic Clinical Specialist Mike Studer to create a comprehensive fitness program for all levels and abilities that focuses on the following five areas: Flexibility, Balance, Strengthening, Endurance and Function. Please take the time to watch these videos and participate at your level. When you have mastered that level, challenge yourself to take your function to the next level. It is Steve’s hope that this workout will inspire you to get moving!

Can you give some info on the resistance canister please.

[@Donnamg100]

would blood flow resistance training be useful in CMT since you get muscle hypertrophy in a shorter period of time. I was wondering if that would keep the nerves from overloading because the training time would be shorter. then again I wonder if reducing the blood supply would damage the frail nerves in the area.

Due to having a new Patient with CMT Disease i did bit of research into Pubmed. Throughout the Systematic Reviews and RCT´s i did not find any conclusive Evidence on Training Intesity and Exercice . Is there any recommendation on Training Intensity you could give? Is overexertion a temporary risk for the day or could there be long-term harm for my patient?

I googled resistance canisters and got kitchen canisters to store things in.
