ABSTRACT

Hereditary motor sensory neuropathies (HSMN) encompass a wide range of related neuromuscular disorders. Electrodiagnostic studies are a powerful tool in differentiating between the different types. Timely rehabilitative treatment of the deformities may result in significant functional improvement and delay or obviate need for future surgery. This article outlines types of HSMN, focusing on the electrodiagnosis and treatment of each.
