Quantitative muscle ultrasound as a biomarker in Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy

Highlights • Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) patients have increased muscle echogenicity of hand and lower leg muscles. • In CMT, the volume and thickness of the hand and lower leg muscles correlate with muscle strength. • CMT patients with worse muscle strength have reduced muscle thickness but increased...
