Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 , welcoming you to and thanks for sharing about the trampoline. We have one at my gym - jumping on it is no problem, trying to catch and throw balls on it starts to get complicated, so I go jump in the pool and do my thing. is primarily for people with Charcot Marie Tooth neuromuscular disease, which is a disorder of the peripherial nervous system. Muscles in the extremities atropy due to weakend signaling to the nerves that stiumulate them. This is predominantly genetically inherited, although sporadic mutations have been found. Symptoms/characteristics are frequent falls or tripping, fatigue from long walks or other activity, atrophy in the peroneal muscle of the leg, walking on one's " toes " , having " footdrop " , ataxia/balance and coordination difficulties, muscle craps, spascity, and sometimes voice and breathing problems. The peripheral neuropathy people with CMT have mainly affects loss of feeling and sensation in the feet and hands and the ability to loose all that. We often do not know where our body is in space and time. There is no one set treatment, as there are about 39 different " types " of CMT, and researchers are now trying to sort these out and discover what type responds to which treatment possibility. Then one day we will have final arrestment of CMT once and for all and we won't need ! You may find Seneff's books on Neuropathy useful.
