Purpose Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) describes a group of hereditary neuropathies that present with distal weakness, wasting and sensory loss. Small studies indicate that people with CMT have reduced daily activity levels. This raises concerns as physical inactivity increases the risk of a range of co- morbidities, an important consideration in the long-term management of this disease. This study aimed to compare physical activity, patterns of sedentary behavior and overall energy expenditure of people with CMT and healthy matched controls. Methods We compared 20 people with CMT and 20 matched controls in a comparison of physical activity measurement over seven days, using an activity monitor. Patterns of sedentary behavior were explored through a power law analysis. Results Results showed a decrease in daily steps taken in the CMT group, but somewhat paradoxically, they demonstrate shorter bouts of sedentary activity and more frequent transitions from sedentary to active behaviors. No differences were seen in energy expenditure or time spent in sedentary, moderate or vigorous activity. Conclusion The discrepancy between energy expenditure and number of steps could be due to higher energy requirements for walking, but also may be due to an over-estimation of energy expenditure by the activity monitor in the presence of muscle wasting. Alternatively, this finding may indicate that people with CMT engage more in activities or movement not related to walking.

“…It was originally developed in English for persons with multiple sclerosis [22], and later translated to Swedish [23], and also modified for use in patients with peripheral neuropathy [24]. Participants use a response scale ranging from 1 (not at all limited) to 5 (extremely limited) to rate the extent to which their residual GBS symptoms limit their ability to walk, run, climb stairs, and perform standing activities.…”

“…Participants use a response scale ranging from 1 (not at all limited) to 5 (extremely limited) to rate the extent to which their residual GBS symptoms limit their ability to walk, run, climb stairs, and perform standing activities. A transformed score of 0 to 100 is then calculated, with higher scores indicating a greater impact on walking [24].…”

“…The score, in percentage, is obtained by using the following equation: 100 x (mean value of the 12 items-1) / (5-1). The Walk-12 has been used in persons with stroke, Parkinson's disease and in persons with late effects of polio, and the psychometric properties have been found to be good (Bladh et al, 2012;Brogårdh, Flansbjer & Lexell, 2012;Brogårdh, Flansbjer, Espelund & Lexell, 2013;Graham & Hughes, 2006;Holland, O'Connor, Thompson et al, 2006).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the association between physical activity and selfreported disability in ambulatory persons with mild to moderate late effects of polio (N=81, mean age 67 years). The outcome measures were: Physical Activity and Disability Survey (PADS), a pedometer, Self-reported Impairments in Persons with Late Effects of Polio Scale (SIPP), Walking Impact Scale (Walk-12), Falls Efficacy Scale -International (FES-I) and self-reported incidence of falls. The participants were physically active on average 158 minutes per day and walked 6212 steps daily. Significant associations were found between PADS and Walk-12 (r = -0.31, p < 0.001), and between the number of steps and SIPP, Walk-12 and FES-I (r = -0.22 to -0.32, p < 0.05). Walk-12 and age explained 14% of the variance in PADS and FES-I explained 9% of the variance in number of steps per day. Thus, physical activity was only weakly to moderately associated with self-reported disability.
