Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the hereditary peripheral neuropath more prevalent all over the world and it is characterized for motor and sensitive alterations predominantly in toes segments of the inferior members. Having slow and gradual evolution, nutrition alterations and motor limitations frequent. Feet are especially attacked and alterations of the march and the balance influence significantly the quality of life of such patients. The objective of this work was to carry through feet evaluation as well as patients with the CMT disease type 2 life quality evaluation. Methods: Twenty participants diagnosed with CMT2 and fourteen normal subjects were assessed for foot posture, mobility and functional impairment, health-related quality of life (SF-36) and feet pressure distribution. Static feet postures were measured using the rearpost foot and mid-lateral foot displacement and contact area. In dynamic analysis, foot pressure parameters (mean pressure, peak pressure, integral pressure-time) and contact duration was measured using the footwork system and the foot was divided into rearfoot, midfoot and forefoot regions for analysis. Results: Differences between CMT2 and controls in the SF-36 were statistically significant for all dimensions except general health and mental health. There was a decrease in the mobility and function ankle comparing CMT2 and control group. Baropodometry data demonstrated that the midfoot region was the one that presented more relevant data, since all variable presented significant difference. Conclusions: There is a clear need to recognize the impact of such progressive foot deformity and the change in gait characteristics with respect to the changing foot pressures. In particular, protection of the lateral midfoot may be an important strategy in the management of patients with CMT, especially as the condition progresses.
