Ken Cornell spent 40 years mastering orthotic care for CMT patients. When he retired he didn't stop. He built CMT Mobility Rescue so that knowledge could keep reaching people.

When patients tell him "you've changed my life, I never knew this was possible" - that's the mission working exactly as intended.

This is what it looks like when someone truly loves what they do.

This is the kind of care every CMT patient deserves access to.

Prime Ortho serves CMT patients in North Jersey with custom AFO fitting and specialized orthotic care.

We're proud to share voices like Ken's.

When Ken Cornell looks back on 40 years of working with CMT patients, certain stories stand out.

One of his earliest patients owned a machine shop. CMT had stripped away his balance and his confidence - he couldn't even stand still in an open space without holding on to something.

His employees always knew he was coming. Clop, clop, clop down the floor.

With the right AFOs and proper gait training he got it all back. He came back to Ken and told him that they can't hear him coming anymore.

He felt like a ninja.🥷

That's what happens when CMT care is done right. Not just a device, but the right device, fitted precisely, with the training to use it. That's the standard Ken has held for 40 years. And it's the standard every CMT patient deserves.

She couldn't hike with her husband anymore. She was now in a wheelchair and had chronic tendonitis.

After working with Ken Cornell at CMT Mobility Rescue her mobility transformed so completely that she and her husband are moving to France, where they always dreamed of living.

Ken's workshop is a specialized workshop, with two full days dedicated entirely to one goal. The right AFOs, combined with the kind of focused gait training that exists outside of a clinical setting. It's designed to work alongside the orthotist who knows and fits you best.

At Prime Ortho we fit AFOs for Charcot-Marie-Tooth and other conditions. We are located in North Jersey and serve the Tri-State area and we're always looking to connect our patients with every resource that can help them thrive.

After getting fit with their custom AFOs, patients take their training off site to a beach ramp, hiking trails, and whatever activities matter most to them personally.

For one patient, that meant line dancing!

Because the goal isn't just walking. It's getting back to the life you want to live.

When patients return home, their local orthotist can continue their care. Ken sends a comprehensive clinical note back with every patient so nothing gets lost.

Ken has developed what he says is a great way to get people with CMT gait trained quickly, efficiently, and with the greatest results.

CMT Mobility Rescue is a two day workshop in Hilton Head, SC for CMT patients designed to help restore mobility and function and give them the skills to use their AFO to its full potential.

When they return home, their local orthotist can pick up right where Ken left off!

Many people think foot drop is the main challenge with Charcot-Marie-Tooth. But Ken says it's only part of the picture.

After 40 years working with CMT patients, he breaks down what they actually need for functional mobility - and what's often missing from the conversation.

02/24/2026

"CMT is a thief. A dirty rotten no good thief."

Those are the words of Ken Cornell and they tell you everything about how deeply he understands this condition.

Ken spent 40 years as an orthotist working with Charcot-Marie-Tooth patients before retiring and founding CMT Mobility Rescue - a two-day program in Hilton Head where patients get fit with the right AFOs AND get the gait training to use them to their full potential.

More to come from Ken this week!

What you see in the clinic is only part of the process.

In our Flanders workshop, some orthotic and prosthetic devices are built from the ground up, while others are carefully modified to improve fit and function.

It all leads to the same outcome: safer, more confident mobility.

Serving Northern NJ and the Tri-State area.

Living with CMT doesn’t mean giving up your favorite activities.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease presents unique challenges, but AFOs can help with things like:

🔹️stability
🔹️preventing trips and falls
🔹️improving posture
🔹️giving you independence

The right AFO can also help you get back to doing the things you love - whether that's hiking trails, playing with your kids, or simply walking confidently through your daily routine.

If you're in northern NJ or the tri-state area and living with CMT, we’re here to help you walk more confidently with the right AFO. Let's work together to find the perfect solution for your specific needs. Send us a message or give us a call today!

This fitting shows part of our process working with a C-Brace from Ottobock.

The C-Brace is one of the advanced orthotic solutions we work with to support people who need greater stability and control while walking.

The C-Brace is designed to respond to real-time movement and fitting it correctly makes all the difference. Advanced orthotic technology only works when it’s paired with the right care.
