Presence of several characteristic diabetic foot pathologies such as infection, diabetic foot ulcer and neuropathic osteoarthropathy is called diabetic foot syndrome. The resulting bone deformity is known as Charcot foot. Due to advanced peripheral nerve dysfunction associated with diabetes (diabetic neuropathy), patients' feet have a dryness ...

X-linked Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 5: This subtype is characterized by infancy/childhood-onset progressive distal limb muscle weakness and atrophy that affects both upper and lower extremities (although it is important noting that it appears and is more noticeable on the lower extremities), foot drop, gait abnormalities, bilateral ...
