There are over 100 types of #CMT, making it a complex condition. Everyone experiences CMT differently. As part of CMT Awareness Month, we wanted to highlight this, so we asked our members which CMT symptoms they are MOST aware of. #CMTawarenessmonth #charcotmarietooth

Sylvia needed a tray fitted to her wheelchair which was both secure enough for her to carry items, but also easy for her to remove and place back on as she lives alone. She can now move around her property with the table in place, remove it and place it back on independently.
