children's growth spurts and CMT

[Guest guest]

They can get worse during growth spirts but eventually they gain that

strength back as soon as the sparse muscle fills in. My PT warned me of that

when Adam was growing.

Hello ,

When I was about 13-14 years old, I grew 18 inches in 18 months. That

left me a skinny tall awkward teen. Later, high school JV basketball

filled in my body pretty well.. I never regretted those events, but I can see

that some youngsters with CMT can not do that. If normal athletics are not

possible, investing in PT or rehab training would be my alternative. My three

kids are in there forties now a still show no

evidence of weaknesses except for backs which all of them have had

operations.
