Structured Physical Therapy Program
A comprehensive physical therapy program focusing on strengthening muscles, improving balance, and maintaining joint flexibility. Therapy includes gait training, stretching exercises, and proprioceptive training to slow disease progression and maintain function.
Assistive Device Assessment and Use
Evaluation by an occupational therapist to identify and prescribe appropriate assistive devices such as ankle-foot orthoses, walking canes, or specialized footwear to improve mobility and prevent falls.
Additional treatment options
Regular Neurological and Functional Monitoring
Scheduled evaluations including nerve conduction studies, muscle strength testing, and functional assessments to track disease progression and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
monitoringOrthopedic Surgical Intervention
Surgical procedures such as tendon transfers, osteotomies, or joint fusions to correct severe foot deformities like pes cavus or hammertoes that impair mobility or cause significant pain.
surgicalOccupational Therapy Support
Occupational therapy focusing on activities of daily living adaptations, home modifications, and workplace ergonomic adjustments to maintain independence and reduce injury risk.
