This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is comparing two ways to treat foot problems caused by Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: foot surgery or wearing an ankle-foot brace. Researchers want to understand how each approach affects your ability to walk, move around, and feel confident with your balance — so doctors can give better advice about which treatment might work best for each person.
People with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease often struggle with walking and falling, and doctors aren't sure whether surgery or bracing is the better choice.

You will complete walking, mobility, and balance tests — similar to what you might do at a physical therapy appointment. If you wear a brace, you'll be tested both with and without it so researchers can see the difference.
