Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is caused by a genetic abnormality involving the PMP22 gene, resulting in demyelination of the peripheral nerves. Demyelination leads to sensorimotor impairment and causes progressive muscle weakness and tendon contractures, initially affecting the lower limbs. Consequently, individuals with CMT experience balance impairments and gait disturbances, including ankle instability, foot drop, and postural instability, which lead to frequent falls and reduced quality of life. Currently, there is no disease-modifying treatment for CMT. Several rehabilitation approaches have been proposed, including endurance training and muscle strengthening programs, to improve independence in activities of daily living. However, rehabilitation practices for individuals with CMT remain poorly standardized, and there is still a lack of clearly defined rehabilitation protocols,
