Hand function and Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease

Reduced hand function in CMT was found at different dimensions according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). We suggest that DASH can be used in persons with CMT, though clinicians should be aware that patients might score lower than expected, possibly because of a long process of adaptation when learning to live with a slowly progressive disease.
