Mobility and Daily Living Aids for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) affects the nerves to the feet, legs, hands and arms, which can lead to weakness, reduced sensation, balance problems and difficulty with fine hand movements. The right equipment helps reduce trips and falls, eases everyday tasks and supports independence as needs change.

For Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease information and support, speak to your healthcare professionals and visit the NHS website. Our qualified trusted assessors are also here to support you and your care team every step of the way, so please call us on 01926 624432.

Many of the products below are available to buy or through our Warwickshire-wide mobility equipment hire service. Hire can help to facilitate hospital discharge, enable you to try equipment before committing to a purchase, or provide support as needs change. We also offer a free home assessment with one of our qualified Warwick-based team to help you choose what’s right for you.

Mobility Aids

Weakness in the ankles and feet can cause tripping and unsteadiness. A walking stick or rollator adds stability, and a tri-tip ferrule improves grip. For longer distances, a lightweight wheelchair, folding powerchair or portable scooter saves energy and keeps you getting out.

Shop our Walking Aids, Wheelchairs, Powerchairs and Scooters ranges, including the Folding Walking Stick, Tri-Tip Ferrule, Space LX Artline, Küschall Champion, Carbon Flyer and AeroCarbon. Many of these are also available to hire rather than buy.

Daily Living and Dressing Aids

Weak hands and reduced grip can make buttons, laces, keys and jars difficult. Button hooks, elastic shoelaces, sock aids, key turners and jar openers make these everyday tasks much easier.

Shop our Daily Living Aids range, including the Big Grip Button Hook, Elastic Shoelaces, Easy-Pull Sock Aid, Key Turner, Jar Pop Key and Easy Grip Cutlery.

Home Modifications and Safety Products

Grab rails and bed rails provide something steady to hold, ramps remove trip hazards at doorways, and a stairlift makes the stairs safer.

Shop our Home Adaptations range, including Grab Rails, the Let’s Get Up Bed Rail, Ramps and the Straight Stairlift.

Bathroom and Hygiene Aids

Reduced sensation in the feet makes wet floors riskier. Shower stools, bath boards and grab rails let you wash seated and securely, and a level-access wet room removes the need to step into a bath.

Shop our Bathing range, including the Corner Shower Stool, Bathboard with Handle, Security Bathtub Pole and Wet Room solutions.

Vehicle Adaptations

Hand controls and a steering wheel ball can make driving easier where leg or hand strength is reduced, and an equipment hoist lifts a wheelchair or scooter into the car.

Shop our Vehicle Adaptations range, including Push Pull Hand Controls, the Steering Wheel Ball and Equipment Hoists.

Repairs, Modifications & Servicing

CMT needs can change over time, and existing equipment doesn’t always need replacing. Many wheelchairs can be adapted with extra accessories, and powered wheelchairs can often be reprogrammed or have their controls adjusted to suit changing strength, grip or coordination. Our team also offer regular servicing to keep equipment safe and reliable.

Shop Wheelchair Accessories, Wheelchair Powerpacks and Powerchair Adaptations, or see our repair, modification & servicing team for adjustments, adaptations and powerchair programming.

Using a combination of these products can help reduce falls, make everyday tasks easier and keep you independent while living with CMT. Find out more about Wenman Healthcare, or browse our full range of products in the shop.
