  ABSTRACT: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, which encompasses several hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies, is one of the most common neuro-muscular disorders. 80% of patients having CMT disease are diagnosed with per cavus deformity. Orthosis is widespread and varies widely in forms. The paper arises the necessity of habilitation at the earliest possible stage as only a few patients use it. The meta-analysis of 412 scientific papers concerning this problem demonstrates the getting better gate, balance and the stopping CMT progression which is scientifically proven. It is also shown that patients with CMT use low prevalence of orthotics, and demonstrate low compliance of patients (for various reasons), high expectations from this habilitation technique.
