    Vibration perception among children and adolescents with Charcot-Marie-tooth disease and implications for foot posture
    (2023) CARDOSO, Juliana; BAPTISTA, Cyntia Rogean de Jesus Alves de; BUZZETTI, Beatriz Parra; SARTOR, Cristina Dallemole; JR, Wilson Marques; SACCO, Isabel de Camargo Neves; MATTIELLO-SVERZUT, A. C.
    Background: Alterations in vibration perception among children and adolescents with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease might explain observed changes in foot posture. Therefore, this cross-sectional study compared the vibration perception of the lower limbs in youths with and without Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and verified the cut-off value of the distal vibration perception for the Charcot-Marie-Tooth group. In addition, associations between dynamic plantar pressure, vibration perception and isometric muscle strength were investigated. Methods: Participants aged 9-18 (Charcot-Marie-Tooth group n = 32; Typical group n = 32) had vibration perception measured by a 128-Hz graduated tuning fork. The static and dynamic foot posture were evaluated by the Foot Posture Index and pressure distribution measuring system, respectively. For the Charcot-Marie-Tooth group, a hand-held dynamometer evaluated the isometric muscle strength of the lower limbs. Findings: Children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease presented impaired vibration perception at the distal phalanx of the hallux and head of the first metatarsal compared to their typically developing peers, while adolescents with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease showed impairment in all the tested regions compared to their typically developing peers. The cut-off value for vibration perception for participants with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease was 5.7, considering the original grade of the tuning-fork 128 Hz. Among the associations established for the Charcot-Marie-Tooth group, a greater vibration perception at the distal phalanx of the hallux was associated with a longer rearfoot contact time (beta = 31.02, p = 0.04). Interpretation: These new findings may guide the clinical evaluation and rehabilitation treatment for children and adolescents with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
