Brief summary
This exploratory cross-sectional study proposes, firstly, to objectify in a population of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT 1A)if there is a correlation between the recording of electrical parameters and upper limb muscle strength of the thigh and in a second step, to seek a relationship between the measured parameters.
Detailed description
Patients suffering from CMT 1A neuropathy will be invited to go through a series of tests such as: * Electromyography * Isokinetic test * Podiatric assessment * Functional evaluations: Hand dexterity, limbs muscles strength * Quality of life assessment with questionnaires
