Examined were 43 patients and 27 relatives all suffering from a hypertrophic type of peroneal muscular atrophy. Owing to foot deformities and a slowing of the nerve conduction velocity a diagnosis was already possible in their childhoods in the majority of cases. Although, after the 20th year of age, the pareses of the legs progress only slowly, considerable pareses of the small hand muscles can still develop in adults. With adequate counselling, rehabilitation measures should become necessary only in rare cases, or, if a kypho-scoliosis has already developed in childhood (10% of our cases).
对43例患者和27名亲属进行了检查，他们均患有肥厚型腓骨肌萎缩症。由于足部畸形和神经传导速度减慢，大多数病例在儿童时期就可以做出诊断。尽管20岁以后腿部麻痹进展缓慢，但成人仍可能出现明显的手部小肌肉麻痹。通过适当的咨询，康复措施仅在极少数情况下才是必要的，或者，如果儿童时期已经出现脊柱后凸畸形（我们病例的10%）。
