Conference in Hershey

[Guest guest]

Hello -

I think that by changing my password ,I can get to the

site. I wanted to let everyone know that I attended the CMT conference

in Hershey and picked up new information that I was not aware of and

validated my foot Drs. concerns that physical therapy and orthotics

for the Charcot Foot, require the expertise of someone that is

familiar with CMT.

My own Neurologist Scherer was a speaker, because he is the man for

research on peripheral neuropathy. I was not aware of the specialty clinic in

stown for CMT and it seems to offer a comprehensive evaluation and program

that may require someone to spend a few days in that area.I was unable to stay

for no M.D. who spoke on foot and ankle surgery.

Lawall, certified orthotist/prosthetist from Hershey area spoke on bracing

for CMT Patients and he seemed very knowledgable and sensitive to the needs of

the CMT patient. I have actually worked with Lawall in the Philadelphia area as

a home care nurse - it is his father that runs that program and I was always

satisfied with the attention given to my home care patients.Thank you for

listening - I hope I can get to the group discussions now.
