Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is one of 40 diseases covered by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), but unlike muscular dystrophy, in which the defect is in the muscles, CMT is a disorder in which the defect is in the nerves that control the muscles.
CMT patients slowly lose normal use of their extremities as nerves degenerate and muscles weaken because the affected nerves no longer stimulate the muscles. Many patients also have some loss of sensory nerve functions.

"Periphrial"??? I become distrustful when specialists/experts/those suppose to be in the know can't pronounce things correctly.

Pronunciation incorrectness has nothing to do with knowledge of the subject matter. I have a very intelligent and experience physical therapist instructor who mispronounces terms often.
