Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 My dream for a long time has been to get a pilot's license, and now that I have the time I'm thinking about pursuing it. The question is, can I do this if I have weakness in my lower legs and some in my hands? I'm a 53-year old woman with clinically diagnosed CMT...i.e., no diagnostics tests have been made to confirm it. No one in my family appears to be affected. I do have increasing weakness in my legs, drop foot (I don't use rigid AFOs but rather I cross lace off-the-shelf ankle braces. I'm also noticing that my hands are losing strength in the last few years. I'm not looking to go any further than flying small planes for my own enjoyment. Does anyone have feedback on this? Thank you. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
