If the classification between hereditary and acquired neuropathy is often easy, there is no completely specific marker allowing the distinction between the two etiologies. Clinical experience suggests that hereditary neuropathies have less impact on balance and gait than the acquired neuropathies at equivalent level of impairment, but this has never been clearly demonstrated.

The Timed Up and Go test (TUG)
It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down. the scores of ten seconds or less indicate normal mobility, 11-20 seconds are within normal limits for frail elderly and disabled patients, and greater than 20 seconds means the person needs assistance outside and indicates further examination and intervention. A score of 30 seconds or more suggests that the person may be prone to falls
