NMRR were in Antwerp this week, presenting our work at the European CMT Federation scientific meeting. It was great to have the opportunity to share the Better Balance-NMD program, & highlight the importance & directions of rehab research for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. 1/3

We are very excited that @cnmdrehab Principal Investigator Gita Ramdharry has been awarded this fellowship that will underpin the work of our research group

Congratulations to Drs Louie Lee, Aljwhara Alangary and Aleksandra Pietrusz who attended their PhD graduation for @uclbrainscience.bsky.social yesterday. Very smart indeed! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

We just had to share this inventive hack by a lady in one of our QS clinics, who has neuromuscular weakness leading to toe and foot drop. Her toes would always curl under when trying to get her foot into a shoe, which could be painful. Learn the steps here:

We are currently looking for expressions of interest in presenting at the next CNR Clinical Networking event on Tuesday 29/4/25 (17:30-19:00)

The topic for the event is: ‘How do AHPs help people with neuro-disability deal with work?’

ICGNMD colleagues at University of Pretoria and North-West University, Potchefstroom, have published their congenital myopathy cohort data in EJHG! 😀 Thank you to all participant families for contributing to the study. Find their paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cortese et al. characterize the full genotype and phenotype spectrum of the most common recessive form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, CMT-SORD, providing information necessary to support early diagnosis and accurate tracking of disease progression. https://buff.ly/4gRFlsk

Functional Neurological Disorder is more common than you might think!

Check out this video demonstrating ways to mobilise your feet if you have CMT 🦶🏼❤️

We have a new video showing ways to mobilise the joints of the feet when you have high arches and clawed toes due to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
