These changes often make walking difficult and can reduce independence and quality of life. Treatment options commonly include physical therapy alone or surgery to correct foot alignment followed by rehabilitation. However, it is not clear whether one approach leads to better long-term walking outcomes.\n\nThe main question this study aims to answer is whether individuals who undergo functional foot surgery followed by rehabilitation experience different changes in walking ability over time compared with those who receive structured physical therapy alone.\n\nResearchers will compare walking performance between these two treatment groups over a period of up to two years. Walking ability will be evaluated using standardized walking tests and patient questionnaires.\n\nParticipants included in this study are individuals with CMT-related foot deformities that affect walking and who received either surgery followed by rehabilitation or physical therapy alone. Researchers will analyze changes in walking ability over time and determine how many participants achieve meaningful improvement.\n\nThe findings from this study may help clinicians and individuals with CMT better understand how different treatment strategies influence walking function over time.",[26,27,28,29,30,31],"Charcot Marie Tooth Disease (CMT)","Pes Cavovarus","Surgery","Exercise Training","Neuromuscular Diseases (NMD)","Gait Disorders",[33,34,35,36,37,38],"Charcot Marie Tooth disease","Walking performance","Functional surgery","Physical therapy","Gait impairment","Propensity score matching","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-02-24",{"date":42,"type":43},"2026-02-25","ACTUAL",{"date":45,"type":21},"2026-02-11",{"date":47,"type":21},"2028-02-10",{"name":49,"class":50},"Peking University Third Hospital","OTHER"]
