  • Title: Respiratory muscle weakness in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. A field study.
    Author: Nathanson BN, Yu DG, Chan CK.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1989 Jun; 149(6):1389-91. PubMed ID: 2730255.
    Abstract:
    A field study on respiratory muscle function and basic pulmonary mechanics was conducted at an international convention of 200 individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Forty patients with respiratory symptoms were evaluated; 15 had significant respiratory muscle dysfunction and 25 were normal. The results suggest that proximal upper limb involvement in individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a simple but significant predictor of respiratory muscle dysfunction.
